The problem is not all wages are increasing. Most engineering companies down here haven't increased in some years. Average boiler maker down here $23-$25/ hour..
I know back home it's worse.. And you can't keep increasing as you loose work, so the community drops below the poverty line..

Spot on. Plus even in the manufacturing industry which i have been involved in, its not much better. Wages dont increase plus when competitors bring in cheap imitations from overseas, than you are out of work anyway.
