No.
Aggregates matter. These numbers are taking every wage earner, and we all know the lower wage earners have seen barely a blimp in raises in the last 4 decades.
However, for people in the middle class, we see raises.
My dad has seen consistent raises his whole life, I have, my girlfriend has, her two sisters, everyone I know. None of us are wealthy but our income has consistently been increased throughout the years, more certainly above inflation.
I am sure this is the case for most people in this forum. Just because a McDonalds employee hasn't seen a raise in a decade doesn't mean a hell of a lot of non-min wage job earners haven't.
