Ah… Very sneaky! Deleted the old post and reposted thinking we wouldn’t say that the graph makes no sense again.

What is the graph supposed to show? This makes no sense. Why the crossover if it’s separate data?
Wouldn’t an overlay be a lot clearer?
Edit: clicking the website gives a graph with an overlay.
Ok so it seems the US wages are increasing but not enough. I would also have used the median wage not the average.
More transparency between workers would be nice for this.
Also pretty impressive that inflation has dropped to 2.7% while still having high levels of private investment into the economy.

Adding up the percentage of wage increases since 2020 and the percentage of annual inflation over the same time period, is almost a wash, with inflation over the last 4 years beating wages by .01%.
