The recent longshore workers’ strike provoked pearl-clutching in the media about runaway salaries. But the notion of six-figure pay for blue-collar workers becomes less scandalous when we compare worker pay and purchasing power today to those in 1960.
At this point, 6 figure jobs seem to be a pipe dream regardless of the color of your collar.
Obviously, it is still attainable, but from my personal view, it seems like salaries don’t keep up with inflation and it’s a race to the bottom
