Honestly the surprise for me is that this implies that wage growth is exceeding inflation for a (slim) majority of the country. Like, sure, I would expect it of like the 1%ers or so these days, but not a majority even if a small one.

Probably only because they include some 'benefits' like health insurance that are horribly overpriced and the worker never sees.
