I don't mean to sound overly negative but I'm a realist and believe in evaluating ALL 'informed/substantiated' evidence, whether it supports my current view or not. Unnecessary 'Holier than Thou' disclaimer out of the way, there's nothing TOO earth-shattering about the above charts as they shape up just about how you'd probably expect them to. But sometimes it takes a trigger to enable a LargeR, more significant Real World Realization. Hopefully these charts do the trick because To those of you ABLE to keep your JOBS during the current DOWNturn, one should not be naive enough to believe his/her real Rate of Salary Growth will go UNchallenged / UNinterrupted / UNpillaged (if that's not a word then it SHOULD be).
