过去十年间,空前的通货膨胀导致白领工人(挣薪水的工人)与兰领工人(挣工资的工人)之间惯常收入的差额出现了明显的变化.1967至1978年这十一年中,从消费价格的指数来看,物价实际上提高了一倍.而工人的工资,不算纳税,仅仅与通货膨胀拉平,就得提高一倍.在美国,只有那些加入强大工会的兰领工人才能免遭通货膨胀的影响.这些工人的工资是按照生活费用指数确定的,所以能够随着通货膨胀的加剧而不断提高.近十年来,兰领工人对付通货膨胀的最大保障不是黄金、邮票、古董和不动产,而是强大的工会.
Over the past decade, unprecedented inflation has caused a marked shift in the difference between the usual incomes of white-collar workers (wage-earning workers) and blue-collar workers (wage-earning workers). In the eleven years from 1967 to 1978, The consumer price index actually doubled the price, while workers’ wages, which are not taxable, doubled just to flatten the inflation rate. In the United States, only those blue-collar workers who join a powerful union can avoid Affected by inflation, these workers’ salaries are determined on the basis of the cost-of-living index so they can continue to rise as inflation rises. For the last 10 years, the maximum protection for blue collar workers against inflation is not gold, stamps, antiques and Real estate, but a strong union.
