I'm going to guess that 3% of your salary is significantly more than a 70% raise for a restaurant worker. You only got a smaller raise because you chose a metric that makes it look smaller.

In a thread about wages and inflation, I'd say the relevant metric is the one that lets you compare the two. Using percentages makes it clear that the son is actually, really making more money now, whereas the parent has less purchasing power now than a year ago (assuming this occurred over one year)
