The meme is a graph showing the relationship between productivity and average real earnings in the United States from 1970 to 2015. The graph shows that while productivity has increased significantly, average real earnings have actually decreased. The text in the image reads "In 1970, a worker making 50,000 in 1970 dollars is today making 73,000 in 2015 dollars, but the worker making 50,000 in 1970 dollars is making 35,000 in 2015 dollars."
