Oct. 28, 2026 | ECONOMY | The US economy continues to grow at a relatively healthy pace, but American workers aren’t fully reaping the financial rewards. In fact, American workers’ piece of the economic pie is shrinking. By one official measure, their slice is the smallest in almost 80 years. …“It’s really telling you that workers have less and less power in this technology age and certainly in the AI age,” said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. “The rewards, the financial gains, are mainly going to shareholders, to the owners of the capital and less and less to your typical W-2 worker.” CNN Business Related: "Even while the economy is growing, workers are getting a smaller and smaller share of the economic pie.” Mother Jones
