US / Workers make less now than before the recession

American workers are making less than they did in 2007, before the financial crisis, according to new data from PayScale. Real wages have declined by nearly 7 percent since then. Meanwhile, the firm predicts just 0.8 percent year over year growth in wages in the final quarter of 2013, down from 1.7 percent in the previous quarter, meaning that wage growth is slowing rather than speeding up.
