That is NOT a projection. It may or may not be accurate but it definitely isn't a projection.

The BLS chart are the HARD NUMBERS. The StLouis FEDERAL RESERVE is not, depending on the chart.

We just had a 3/2% INCREASE IN WAGES, over the 2.6% INCREASE IN WAGES from LAST YEAR, over Obama's last year.

That's a 5.8% INCREASE IN WAGES since 2016..FAR OUTSTRIPPING INFLATION.

I did not mention whether or not the posts were accurate or how they compared to prior years. I am happy the economy is doing well. All I stated was that it was NOT a projection.

The Federal Reserve Bank of St.Louis included several ARBITRARY FACTORS in its SPECULATIVE "real wage growth" chart, when all the is RELEVANT, and SUPPORTED BY HARD NUMBERS, are the % of wage increases, MINUS % of inflation.

EVRRYTHING ELSE IS PROJECTION.
