The Economic Policy Institute reports that from 1978 to 2018, CEO compensation rose 940% compared to 12% for the average worker. In 1965, the CEO/worker pay ratio was $20/1, but now is $278/1. In his book “Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World,” Anand Giridharadas discusses these last 40 years being defined by: peak wealth and income inequality; stagnant worker wages; hoping markets “solve” problems they often exacerbate; businesses prioritizing investors over employees; and overdependence on philanthropy leading small groups with the greatest wealth to determine what societal solutions are “palatable.” In this period, we’ve come to see clear economic winners and clear losers.

A quick search online would have you believe a recession is imminent. According to an Economic Policy Institute report published in April 2019, there is a “real possibility” that the United States could find itself in a recession as soon as the next 18 months.

In October, the Trump administration published a proposed rule regarding tips which, if finalized, will cost workers more than $700 million annually. It is yet another example of the Trump administration using the fine print of a proposal to attempt to push through a change that will transfer large amounts of money from workers to their employers. We also find that as employers ask tipped workers to do more nontipped work as a result of this rule, employment in nontipped food service occupations will decline by 5.3% and employment in tipped occupations will increase by 12.2%, resulting in 243,000 jobs shifting from being nontipped to being tipped. Given that back-of-the-house, nontipped jobs in restaurants are more likely to be held by people of color while tipped occupations are more likely to be held by white workers, this could reduce job opportunities for people of color.
