The opposite of what? I did read the article but if you want to reference it then quote it so we know what you’re talking about. The only relevant section I remember from the top of my head was something like, “pay raises resulted in higher wages even after taking inflation into account.”
But that’s some really fun weasel wording. If I’m making 2 more dollars an hour in real terms, but I’m still 8 Dollars below affording a place to live it doesn’t really help me does it?
