    5% after 20 years of stagnated wages is still unimpressive if you ask me.

    Wages have fairly consistently beat inflation since around the turn of the millennium.

    Perhaps you’re still stuck in the 1990s?

        Most especially. There was a a short period through the height of COVID where there was some struggle, but wages have done very well in the last five years, before and after COVID.

        The last five or so years has quite possibly been the strongest job market Canada has ever seen. Of course wages are going to do well.
