Absolutely, and low wage growth is endemic in Portugal due to cultural factors - business owners are famously greedy, small-minded, and given to mistreat workers, including by paying them miserably. Tech businesses thankfully have been leading the way, aware that intrinsically remoteable work means they're competing with foreign capital for workers, but the situation is nowhere near where it needs to be (higher wages across ~more~ all trades and industries).
