Not income, gents.

As income includes transfer payments, bonuses, and commissions which are irrelevent to 80% of workers (See: Wallace Peterson's 'The Silent Depression').
I am talking real-wages, which are down 17-30% since 1973.

See 'The Myth of Free Trade' and BLS data.

Also google 'real wages fall since 1973'.
