Women on average are making 32% more than they did in 1979 (on weekly earnings). Men are making 4% less. In 2021, almost twice as many women than men joined the workforce. The trend continues. Of all the net jobs the economy added in the past year, 3.3 million went to women and 3.1 million went to men. This socio-economic formula is unsustainable. Inflation has eaten away the standard of living by a huge percentage since 1979, but the dry rot is more a character problem than anything else.
