Wages may have risen on the low end, but it's really difficult to find a job in many professions and the pay has dropped substantially. My LinkedIn feed is full of unemployed engineers, recruiters, etc. Layoffs are also continuing, but are no longer big enough to make the news. The "recruitinghell" subreddit highlights many of these problems.
