— For the biggest group of American workers, wages aren’t flat. They’re falling. – Jeff Stein and Andrew Van Dam (DIERSEN: Between 1966 and 1997, in today’s dollars, my salary increased from $15.85/hour to $60.25/hour. That would not have happened if I had not earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: For workers in “production and nonsupervisory” positions, the value of the average paycheck has actually declined in the past year. For those workers, average “real wages” – a measure of pay that takes inflation into account – fell from $22.62 in May 2017 to $22.59 in May 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said.)

— Elon Musk has been missing deadlines since he was a kid – Peter Holley (DIERSEN: What if Musk had become a federal employee? For federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non/veteran, the deadline for getting promoted to GS-13 (currently $96,403) is age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) is age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) is age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) is age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid deadlines. But nevertheless, those who are anti-federal employee and/or anti-federal retiree use the aforesaid to viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn those who did not meet the aforesaid deadlines as being lazy, stupid, and even worse things.)

— Retiring state senator James Clayborne gets unwelcomed parting gift from #MeToo victim – Editorial
http://www.bnd.com/opinion/editorials/article213094504.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois state Sen. James Clayborne’s plan to leave the statehouse and rely on his law license and connections to build a lucrative retirement may have just received a wrinkle. Or maybe a dose of karma. Clayborne is one of the lawmakers with a law license being targeted by Denise Rotheimer for failing to do anything about her sexual harassment complaint. Her recent complaint to the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission includes Clayborne, state Senate President John Cullerton, House Speaker Michael Madigan and other law-license-holding lawmakers on the Legislative Ethics Commission.)
