Thanks. Are those numbers inflation adjusted? 'Cause if they aren't, and given an average 4% per year rate of inflation, they show that adjusted for inflation wages have gone down.

I do not believe they are inflation adjusted. 4% is higher than actual inflation (including food and energy) but your point is still well made. Overall wages are rising slower than prices.
