I am genuinely interested in this area. So I went to the aforementioned site and did a search, but I got different wage growth data. Was he talking about inflation adjusted data?

Edited: there is a difference between mean and median. However, the graph I posted is for nonsupervisory employees, so I don’t think there would be a big gap between mean and median.

Couldn’t quickly find Median Data. However using Average instead.

Using Average wage data for 10 years after 1986, the wage is $12.25 in Dec 1996, vs $12.86 which it should have been if JUST grew by inflation rate.

That’s a wage lowered by @4.74%
