Alex Tabarrok put up some stunning charts last week, showing a comparison between the wages of American men vs. GDP since World War II, and the wages of American women vs. GDP since World War II. The graph for men is basically flat since the mid 1970s, while the graph for women has tracked continued GDP growth pretty well.
This data follows up on the same themes as Hanna Rosin’s provacative article in last month’s Atlantic called “The End of Men.”
