WHY ARE WAGES STAGNATE

It's all about the profit margin. Cut hours, reduce payroll, hire at $8.50 an hour, get rid of long term employees working 10 years or more that are making $12.00 or more and replace them with lower wage workers.

This is the objective of CEOs and corporations. Look no further than Walmart. Perfect example, or any supermarket and especially convenient stores.  How many times have you gone in to shop or get a cup of coffee and only one register open. 

That is why wages are stagnant.  GREED.
