More broadly, should we be paying more attention to nonsupervisory wages than managers' wages? I'd argue the reverse. Think of why we have the concept of core inflation: we want less volatile prices, which are more likely to reflect expected future inflation 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

This creates problems for what is ordinarily a very useful source, the Atlanta Fed wage growth tracker, which tries to measure median wage. In an equalizing market, median will rise faster than mean, which may give spuriously high numbers 4/ https://t.co/gIJoybYcu8 — PolitiTweet.org

A corresponding concept for wages would focus on workers who are hired with relatively long contracts, with wages set with an eye on the future rather than current supply and demand. And managers are *more* likely to fit that concept than lower-wage, high turnover workers 6/ — PolitiTweet.org
