It's a terrible graph (no gridlines!) but if you're willing to open it in an image editor and draw some lines, it becomes pretty clear that wage growth for the 90th percentile is up 5 percentage points over the 10-year period, while productivity growth looks to be more than twice that number.
Also, it's the long-term trend that matters. Is the gap between each blue line and the yellow line narrowing or widening since the start of the graph? It's the latter, so things are getting worse and not better.
