FYI

A “real wage” refers to the purchasing power of an individual’s income, adjusted for inflation. Unlike nominal wages, which represent the amount of money earned without considering changes in the price level, real wages account for the cost of living and inflation. This adjustment provides a clearer picture of an individual’s true economic well-being, indicating how much goods and services their income can actually buy.
