This chart highlights how wage growth has been almost entirely offset by inflation. From 2020 to 2024, nominal wages rose about 22%, but consumer prices climbed roughly 21%. The result? Real wages barely moved, up only 1.5%. For advisors and investors, this underscores how purchasing power erosion impacts savers and retirees—showing why strategies that account for inflation risk are essential in today’s planning conversations.
