NOT true. Inflation must be taken into account, which eliminated ALL WAGE increase from about 1975 until today. It is sometimes called constant dollars by economists. They look at what number of dollars had the same buying power for each year. There are tables to help people calculate that out in MOST every economics book. It is taught in econ 101.
