Real wages are falling, and have been falling for months.
Line chart titled "Inflation adjusted hourly wages are falling" shows real hourly wages for private sector workers in January 2025 dollars from March 2024 to September 2026. Real wages climbed from $35.38 in March 2024 to a peak of $36.30 in November 2025, then fell to $35.86 by September 2026, eroding most of the inflation-adjusted gains workers had achieved over the prior 20 months.

more americans think trump has prioritized his own business interests (87%) than he has people like them (46%). can’t imagine why..
Bar chart titled "Few see Trump as prioritizing the country or people like themselves since taking office in 2025." It shows the percentage of adults' perceptions, categorized by party—Republican, Independent, Democrat—on how much they believe Donald Trump prioritizes personal interests, friends and family, the country overall, or people like them. Data suggest varied levels of perceived prioritization. Source: AP-NORC poll conducted in September 2026.
