Why would wage prices fall as fast as the prices of consumer goods?


[/ QUOTE ]

It would be cool if someone could expand on this. From what little I've read on the austrian explanation of deflation it seems that wages drop slower than the price of consumer goods. This would mean that an individuals purchasing power increases in times of deflation, but the decrease in wages brings out all the usual suspects and makes sure that the government prevents deflationary periods from continuing.
