How did salaries change in the 1990s?

In the 1990s, salaries in the United States experienced a notable increase, particularly in the latter half of the decade, driven by a booming economy and the rise of the technology sector. The median household income rose, and wages for many workers saw real growth, although disparities widened between skilled and unskilled labor. Additionally, the expansion of the internet and globalization contributed to job creation in high-paying industries, while traditional manufacturing jobs faced stagnation or decline. Overall, the decade was marked by both rising incomes and increasing income inequality.
