The chart above is the inflation adjusted real wages index of Japan since 1990. Since 1999 real wages have decreased 6.51 percent.
I wonder if the US real wages index could follow the Japanese trend.
Usually real wage increase is linked to higher productivity though technological inovation and investment.
US real wages peaked almost 20 years ago.
