US Wages Share of GDI at 75 Year Low

US workers' wage and salary share of gross domestic income fell to 42.0% in 2025, marking a 75-year low according to data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The decline has been gradual but steady, dropping from 43.5% in 2021 to the current level, reflecting a shrinking proportion of national income going to employee compensation relative to other income sources like corporate profits.
