The amount of Argentines who live in Argentina who get paid in dollars is ridiculously small, so small that I'd bet it's statistically insignificant. You're talking about an edge case - developers and analysts, of those developers and analysts, ones that are skilled enough (in their trade and in the english language) to work abroad, and lucky enough to get sought-after remote positions. There's also a very small number of people who are paid in a cryptocurrency tethered to the US dollar.
However, remember that the vast majority of Argentines are paid in pesos. Even with salary adjustments, the vast majority of Argentine salaries cannot keep up with triple digit inflation. Bank accounts have a minimum of double digit interest rates and your money still loses value in relation to inflation. This is a large part of why the poverty rate has increased from a little under a third of the country to over 40% of the country.
