obs are coming back, but pay isn’t. The median wage is still below where it was before the Great Recession. Last month, average pay actually fell. 

What’s going on? It used to be that as unemployment dropped, employers had to pay more to attract or keep the workers they needed. That’s what happened when I was labor secretary in the late 1990s.
