real wages also increase when low-wage workers are the first to be fired.

Doug asks:

Do we know that's actually happening? Manufacturing workers are losing
jobs most rapidly of all, and they paid higher than average.


I don't know if it's happening or not, but it often does, as when the
manufacturing workers with the least seniority get laid off first (before
their higher-paid & more senior colleagues). Businesses seem to follow the
LIFO strategy when it comes to personnel management.
