@RussRanocchia @JanaBlade1 make $105.78 a day. BUT, based on the inflation data I found, costs are about 5% higher from 2016 so I would need $105 just to meet what I was in 2016. If I made 105.78, then I’m only up $0.78 a day. Effectively I’ve moved up .78% in 2 years while GDP was up 2.9%

@RussRanocchia @JanaBlade1 Prices today are 4.99% higher from 2016 due to inflation. So, Maricopa’s AZ wage growth is pretty much wiped out.

@HarlanRoberts4 @RNRMaryland @GovLarryHogan Is that where they have access to transportation to secure decent jobs or do they live in neighborhoods that were red-lined through overtly racist policies and laws? Transportation and access to work is where it starts. See https://placesjournal.org/article/the-third-rail/ by .@AlecMacGillis
