Show me one employment category that has steadily been going up "versus inflation" in the last 5-10 years.

Most actually. As a country, we've had about a 10-year run of wage growth beating inflation. This only flipped in 2021. But the compounded wage growth from ~2013 to 2021 still beats the downward trend from 2021 to now.
