What this information tells you is that the "average worker" has FAR exceeded the rate of inflation while the "average engineer" has not.  Sugar, eggs and coffee are well below the inflation rate.  

Would you like to go BACK???

Back then few farmers would turn away a hunter. They never said it was because that the hunter would shoot the livestock with a stray bullet. The bullets cost to much to waste.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

In 1900, 50% of the population lived on farms.  By the 1960s, it was down to 10%.  In the 1990s, when we were raising our girls on the farm in Kansas, the number was down to 3%. We raised our girls in a vanishing way of life.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
