Question 1: Do you agree that lower real wage growth was beneficial for employment levels during the Great Recession?

====================================================================

Answer:
Neither agree nor disagree
Confidence level:
Not confident
Comment:
Early on lower real wage growth probably had limited influence on firm investment - the uncertainty about the future dominated - but later on it was likely beneficial in this sense. Higher real wage growth would likely have stimulated demand a bit early on and could have been beneficial on net, but later on likely less so.
