Cartoon by Ralph Underhill.
Image description/ Alt text: Title ‘Economic journalists in the mainstream media’.
Two men stare at a graph showing four lines.
A green line showing an upward trend for ‘shareholder profits’ floats at the top of the graph.
Below it is a similar trend with a blue line for ‘CEO pay’.
Below this, a yellow line showing a sharp incline in ‘cost of living’.
At the bottom, a flat red line denotes ‘Wages’ which have remained stagnant.
The two men staring at the graph say “There must be some sort of pattern we are missing…”.
