A Wall Street Journal survey analyzes why industrial workers feel worse off despite higher wages and living costs rising faster than wages. It notes 119 percent wage growth since 1939 versus 68 percent price increases, with many reporting improved housing, cars, and families even as living costs rise. It also cites Dr. David Abrahamson’s study linking stomach ailments to crime and family tensions, arguing home environment shapes crime and suggesting better home training could reduce both crime and stomachaches.
