Jamal: It' s incorrect to maintain that current data suggest a weakness in the economy  Stocks are paying higher dividends than ever and corporations' profits are very high  Yet you criticize corporations on the basis of wage data, which are the only data showing a decline  Jennifer: You' re right that only wage data show a decline, but those data are important because they show a shift of income from companies' workers to their shareholders
The statistics you cite mean little to the expanding numbers of workers finding it increasingly difficult to make a living
Corporations are currently making considerable profits.
