both paid (At least partially) by the company one works for, I wonder how that graph would be affected.

that many a company hides behind the "cost of health benefits" as a reason to hold down wages. Certainly they have gone up, there is no doubt of that point. However the gap in compensation and productivity still exists as does the staggering percentage increases in the compensation that has gone to the top vs what the working class has received.

ceo got raises on the back of workers.

If the chart dealt with on;y cash wages it would probably be grimmer.

I bet we could double wages and halve work times.

and it is true at some level. However when you hear the line you need to do a bit of translation. The !% lives on profits, the vast sea of us live on wages. When they say this line, what they are saying in fact is "giving you a raise will decrease my paycheck".

In fact it will reduce their paycheck. They will still get quite rich, but not as fast as they want to.

Trickle down eceonomics is an elaborate rationalization designed to make their greed sound like a service to the community.

If we take into account the cost of housing and necessities, including food, and inflation, I think the situation is much more dire than the graph indicates.
