John Gramlich: American wage growth comparison depends on definitions and timeframe — U.S. wage growth depends on definitions

John Gramlich raises the question of whether American workers' wages are keeping up with inflation. He points out that the answer is complex and depends on which workers are examined, how wages are defined, how inflation is measured, and the specific time period considered.

The tweet indicates new research from Pew Research but does not provide further details.

But we saved everything 🙂.

John Gramlich previously noted that March saw an unprecedented jump in pump prices from the prior month, both in dollar and percentage terms, according to a Wall Street Journal summary. Rising fuel costs have been a factor in discussions on inflation’s impact on Americans. The recent inquiry into wages comes as consumer prices remain volatile.
