Not really surprising that people changing to better paying jobs are getting paid more. But when you are forced to change jobs to buy food, it's gonna sour your opinion of the market. Or that wages have increased for those in industries with strong unions that have done things like strikes to get those benefit, many are not gonna consider that an indicator of the economy as a whole even if it's been done over several industries.

Also, the wage increases have largely being high schooler or less workers (according to this article) that no longer were able to fill positions otherwise, which for some reason a lot of people don't seem to think are real jobs nor is it going to influence the opinion of influencers' opinion of the economy as a whole.
