Or maybe those wage gains are not evenly distributed.

Definitely: "from the end of 2019 to the end of 2023, the lowest-paid decile of workers saw their wages rise four times faster than middle-class workers and more than 10 times faster than the richest decile."

That said, 1% of one million is ~double 10% of $45,000.

Theyre not. Most of the gains are going to the poorest and richest. The poorest especially are doing better than they have ever before.

I'd imagine most of that "doing better" is wiped out by much higher housing costs and food inflation for the least fortunate.
