>Hasn't wage growth been even with inflation? Definitely not: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us...
The headline and article content both say that it's been even, i.e. no real growth, but no backsliding either. > For most U.S. workers, real wages have barely budged in decades and > today’s real average wage (that is, the wage after accounting for inflation) has about the same purchasing power it did 40 years ago.
Ah, yes. Sorry. Even with inflation but no growth. You would hope for growth given it’s been 40 years.
