RE: TW Wages vs. numbers of TWs; WAS: Fantastic reference tool

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

The relevant components of the inflation rate depend on who you are
(fixed mortgage rates vs. housing costs, driving time to work vs. fuel
costs, etc.). I suppose that increases in food costs are relevant to us
all!...

But given that the graph shows the tech boom crash as a steep drop, from
which the numbers have more than recovered -- yeah, I'll take that.

Wanna know who really suffered in the crash? Type in "computer
programmer" instead. You'll see less impressive gains in wages, and
terrible, uncorrected losses in sheer numbers. Compared with the
programmers, we got off easy.
