    I am probably missing something, but isn’t it a good sign if the wages for over 50% of the population outpace the inflation? Over 50% is not like it only benefits the richest

      There ought to be a very high percentage outpacing inflation, not just most people. Think of it as what percentage of the population should get a new job this year. Is it really 40%? Less than 1% of the population deserves a pay cut.
