On average, wages have risen faster than prices since the onset of the pandemic, and lower-paid workers have seen the steepest gains even while facing the highest cost burdens.

    according to the article “Inflation has risen quickly over the past few years — but wages have been rising slightly faster.” but for me this is patently not so. Granted I have not left my job which is maybe the problem.

      I don’t see how anyone is making the point that “everything is rosy.” This post describes recent trends in changes in wages and inflation. Your link about purchasing power 2021-2022 (and the rest of your comment) does not negate anything mentioned in the article.

      This seems less of an attempt to inform but rather maintaining that good news about wages must be accompanied by bad news somehow, as has been typical.
