Original Note:
The tweet’s claim about real wages contains a factual error. On 3/15/20 when US COVID lockdowns began real wages adjusted for inflation (AFI) were $11.15. As of 7/16/23 real wages AFI are $11.05. Real wages AFI remain lower (not higher) than before the pandemic. https://www.cdc.gov/museum/timeline/covid19.html#:~:text=March%2015%2C%202020,the%20spread%20of%20COVID%2D19. https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_real_average_hourly_earnings#:~:text=Basic%20Info,1.19%25%20from%20one%20year%20ago.
