In the US, average hourly wages have increased more since 2019 than consumer prices. But as always, focusing on averages overlooks the impact on the lowest paid workers and anyone relying on social welfare payments. These are the areas where income often falls behind prices and it’s why many people still feel like things are getting worse despite the grandstanding from governments about how great their economic management is.
