Til...
If were true wouldn't that mean deflation as wages haven't actually kept up?
No. This is saying that wages have outpaced inflation, which would be disinflation rather than deflation. It's confusing but they are not actually the same thing even though it sounds like they should be.
No it's saying some have.
It's not even a good metric to try and say income is getting better
Some have what? I'm not following what you mean.
I do agree its not the greatest metric for a variety of reasons but its still indicative of improvements to the economy. If the opposite was happening it would mean things are getting worse instead of better.
Yes, we are finally back to 2019 levels. I still don't understand what point you are making.
The point is its a meaningless stat to try an make it look like it's getting better for workers.
This article talks about income (wages, salary etc).
Right, it leaves out a significant detail while focusing on the least important part.
But the (clickbait) title got people to (click) talk about it so... it accomplished its publishers' goal, nonetheless.
Idk, included it but completely ignored gaining anything from the data :(
Poorly, but not like you're great at discussion or reading comprehension
