Real wages are not up for low earners. This is such an obvious math flaw I can't understand how nobody is challenging it. Real wages are adjusted for average inflation based on all consumers. However low earners experience much higher inflation than the average, at least double, and their consumption is vastly different (all of it is housing, food and energy in that order). Many of these low wage earners are periodically homeless or otherwise avoid paying bills to begin with.
Real median wages for full time workers are up a little less than 2.5% since Q4 2019. It could be worse, but it's not really something worth getting excited over.
