What would you define as non-monetary compensation besides health care benefits (which increase so quickly you could consider those benefits to stagnate as well).
> If you look at median income levels, they have grown substantially over the last 30 years.
You have mean and median reversed. Mean inflation adjusted income has increased substantially, median inflation-adjusted income has declined. That's because the distribution of income has become more concentrated.
Stock options are not part of the median income. Tuition reimbursement is far less than govt subsidized education and even regular private education cost in the past. Higher benefitd mean nothing if they are directly routed to massively inflated prices that offset the benefits for the same value delivered.
