Wages are no longer stagnant, though they were until about a year ago.

Presently we have seen 4 consecutive quarters of substantial y/y wage growth in the US.

I was curious about median wage growth and found graph of the ratio of median to average:

Is that adjusted for rise in costs?

What counts as substantial?

It's not adjusted for anything, just in actual figures.

Per a blog I read:

Q1 2021 wages were 7.7% higher than Q1 2020 wages.

Q4 2020 wages were 7.7% higher than Q4 2019 wages.

Q3 2020 wages were 6.2% higher than Q3 2019 wages.

Q2 2020 wages were 6.5% higher than Q2 2019 wages.

It remains to be seen how bad the general consumer goods price increases will end up being.
