The tweet’s claim about “increased” real wages contains a factual error. February 2021 real wages adjusted for inflation (AFI) were $11.40. June 2023 real wages AFI were $11.05. Real wages AFI have decreased by $.35 compared to them at the start of Biden’s administration. https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_real_average_hourly_earnings#:~:text=Basic%20Info,1.19%25%20from%20one%20year%20ago.
