US workers' share of capital falls to lowest since 1947

Original: U.S. workers took home their smallest share of capital since at least 1947

New figures show U.S. workers are taking home the smallest share of capital income since at least 1947, the lowest level ever recorded. The data points to a long-term shift in how the gains of production are divided between labor and capital, with wages capturing an ever-smaller slice. Commentators are debating the causes, from automation and globalization to weakened union power and corporate concentration.

Why now: Falling labor share of income is fueling debate over wage stagnation and inequality
