      If you haven’t gotten an 11.29% raise doing the same job since 2021 then you are making less money today than you were then.

      5% is in the right direction, but we’re in quite the earnings deficit.

      5% after 20 years of stagnated wages is still unimpressive if you ask me. And those wages have gone up because workers just won’t work for less. But immigrants will. The government gets their tax dollars.

      Obviously it’s more complex but the housing crises, wages, inflation, it’s all connected and relative to each other. We are so screwed

              Ah I guess it’s just me getting hosed then. That’s good information to have that everyone else’s wages were keeping up with the rampant inflation

                Way to go, idiot. Just make more money and you’ll be fine.
