Yes, his ass. Hourly wages in 2018 were about 2$ more compared to the 1960s and the increases went to the 90th percentile of earners. And that was before the last big round of inflation.

To be fair, if you look at the median graph it does go ever so slightly up, which I think qualifies as “outpaces.” It is certainly a lot less dire than if inflation was outpacing wages, at least wages keeping pace with inflation is sustainable.
