A couple of you libtard morons claimed real wages are increasing. In fact, Biden lied as usual and even claimed they are higher now than before the pandemic. That is false:
Real Wages adjusted for inflation 3/15/20: $11.15
Real Wages adjusted for inflation 7/16/23: $11.05
Note: This doesn't even account for all the increased various taxes that weren't even factored in that everyone is also paying now, thus making their current wages even lower.
Also: This doesn't account for all the increased national debt since before the pandemic that everyone owes
I said they are down slightly. Not sure where you are getting those $11 numbers, but you seem to be saying real wages are down less then 1% from all-time highs, after the worst pandemic in 100 years and all that free money? Sounds about right. No
wonder all the right-wingers are whining and crying like hysterical little babies. Must suck to be so poor that a temporary 1% reduction in wages (from all-time highs) rocks your world.
Here's the data...I'm sure it's been adjusting back downward accounting for inflation or whatever and tracking it by year. Funny how you somehow try to change the topic to political parties:
