It’s not all doom and gloom for American workers. The median weekly wages for full-time workers outpaced inflation for the first three months of 2023, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In addition, the country’s lowest wage earners are seeing faster growth than the top earners. From January 2020 to September 2022, the bottom 10% of American workers have seen their real (inflation-adjusted) wages rise 6.4%, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.
