ELI5:How is it that the US's economy is doing well, but paychecks are growing at a "record low pace?"

Production per hour of labor is increasing, but the increased income from that productivity is mostly going to the shareholders and company executives.

This trend will continue as long as people are willing to work for the same low wages as before.  And before people start pushing for higher wages, the unemployment rate has to decrease.  It's hard to ask for a raise when you know that there are 100s of people to replace you at your current wage or below.
