Wage share → Labor share – The term "labor share" is common, and standard in the economics literature. The term (and concept) of wage share is rare. I ask for consensus before we start because it will require overwriting the present redirect at Labor share. econterms (talk) 20:51, 6 April 2022 (UTC)— Relisting. Spekkios (talk) 22:05, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

• Comment Would support a move to "Labour share" as the article at creation used -our spelling and for the benefit of consistency with Labour economics. AusLondonder (talk) 14:20, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
• Support Initially inclined to oppose, as wage share and labor share are not the same, as labor can have other forms of earnings. But realized the article touches on those other forms, so it really is about labor share and not really wage share. Do not support switching to UK "labour" spelling, as nearly all the references and data in this article are from sources which use US "labor" spelling (BLS, FRED, Cobb & Douglas, etc.) Walrasiad (talk) 09:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

That isn't correct. For example, of the first five sources, three use labour spelling. Nonetheless, that is irrelevant to WP:RETAIN. You do have a point regarding WP:GEOBIAS. The article needs to be edited to include global perspectives. AusLondonder (talk) 09:37, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose in order to avoid ENGVAR issues. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:17, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:RETAIN. If the article was started with British English, the current title is the more common term in British English per the Google Ngrams. Rreagan007 (talk) 22:07, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Content moved to "Labor share"

I moved the content to "labor share," the standard name, from "wage share" which is not a common phrase. I may have blundered here; I didn't see the move discussion above which ends up at "no consensus." However that discussion was somehow about labor vs labour; I am flexible on that question. I want to expand to cover more sources here and more of the world, using the normal economics terminology. -- econterms (talk) 14:35, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
