According to a recent report, around half of OECD countries are earning less now than they had before the pandemic. Considering hourly real wages—wages adjusted for inflation—people in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia and many European countries now have less money at their disposal than roughly four years ago. No data was published for Turkey, Chile and Colombia.
