⚠️Americans' wages are stagnating
The share of working Americans not getting pay raises is increasing
Currently, 13.3% of working Americans are not receiving any pay rises, the highest share since 2021.
This is in line with the Great Financial Crisis levels and exceeded the share seen in the 2001 recession.

Financial News Keeps You Poor. Here's Why.
The scandalous truth: Most market news is designed to inform you about what already happened, not help you profit from what's coming next.
When CNBC reports "Stock XYZ surges 287%"—you missed it.
What you actually need:
Tomorrow's IPO calendar (not yesterday's launches)
Crowdfunding deals opening this week (not closed rounds)
What real traders are positioning for (not TV talking heads)
Economic data that moves markets (before it's released)
The financial media industrial complex profits from keeping you one step behind.
Stocks & Income flips this backwards. We focus entirely on forward-looking intel that helps you get positioned before the crowd, not informed after the move.
Stop chasing trades that happened already.
Start prepping for the next one.
