That is lower than the inflation rate of 2018

Inflation rate of 2017-2018 is 2.9%. Wage increase is 2.8%. So wages are stagnating.

Inflation was 2.9%. Wage increases did not keep up with inflation. Wall Street Journal is a subsidiary of Fox News, hence the deliberately misleading headline.

WSJ False statistics. This number does not take into account inflation. For the real deal go to: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/realer.pdf … where you can find statistics that represents 80% of the labor force. Shame on you WSJ! You assume your readers won't know the difference.pic.twitter.com/QNwH2I44IA
