In order to raise wages services and products prices must go up. In other words no real change in buying power.

And a trend towards degradation of purchasing power too.

Possibly less buying power if a higher percentage of wages get taxed.

When the wage increases are done by decree rather than due to the market or productivity increases.

You are not factoring in that as wages go up the need for public assistance goes down.

Eggs-actly. No increase in buying power. However, a decrease in the value of your savings account.
