If every employee's salary is at least the market median, the market median will rise until half of the employees have salaries below the median. By definition. You can't have Lake Wobegone in a market.
This is true, but if the market is moving and you are still...its moving further away from you. There has to be a balance there. As an employer, you are trying to reap profit from investing early in the cycle (cheap wages). As an employee, you need to induce re-pricing (either promotion, job offer, or switch-eroo).
Except wages are high right now for technical workers due to the low supply of them, as the market gets flooded with technical workers in the coming years wages in this industry will probably drop.
