The image is a comparison chart titled "The Great Prosperity: 1947-79" and "The Great Regression: 1980-Now," illustrating the changes in productivity and compensation for production and non-supervisory workers in the United States. The left side, labeled "The Great Prosperity: 1947-79," shows a graph with a brown line representing productivity and a gray line for average hourly compensation. Both lines show a steady upward trend from 1947 to 1979, with productivity increasing by 119% and compensation by 100%. The right side, labeled "The Great Regression: 1980-Now," features a graph with a blue line for productivity and two additional lines for average hourly compensation and average hourly wage. Productivity continues to rise, but average hourly compensation increases by only 8%, and average hourly wage by 7% from 1979 to 2009. The chart highlights that while productivity has continued to grow, compensation has not kept pace since the 1970s. The source is attributed to Robert Reich, New York Times, 9/4/2011.
