Original Note:
The federal government’s data does not support this growth claim. Inflation-adjusted average hourly earnings were $11.41 per hour in January 2021 when Biden took office (https://web.archive.org/web/20220224142521/https://www.bls.gov/news.release/realer.t01.htm) and in its latest release (May 2023) is $11.03 (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/realer.t01.htm). This is a decline of 3.3%.
