Did a miss a different more nuanced number deeper in the reference that had a lower number?You can stick with it after you admit you switched in data for 2024 and the subject is 2023 data. My 2023 data is still there. 2023 data.
I didn't dispute your source at all. Or its number. I just provided an updated number is all. Looks like folks have been making more recently (2024) in the new high inflation world. Probably not a surprise, over all.
A better way of doing this might be like an inflation adjusted series, going back to "the good ol' days", of both median wages and costs of stuff, cars, houses, college. That would be the big eye opener, comparing today to "the good ol' days". If the point is excentuating how the salary/value/cost of living has changed, someone has done that and it is probably a great data series.
