WHAT'S UP WITH JOBS AND CORPORATE PROFITS?

United States Corporate Profit Margins Are Higher Than Ever in History!

Corporate profit margins just hit an all-time high. Companies are making more per dollar of sales than they ever have before.

 

Wages as a percent of the economy are at an all-time low. This is both cause and effect. One reason companies are so profitable is that they're paying employees less than they ever have as a share of GDP. And that, in turn, is one reason the economy is so weak: Those "wages" are other companies' revenue.
