I think the metrics are misleading.

Wages stagnant, but more people working, then business IS spending more on wages. Workers, en mass, do have more money.

And not considering the 'bump' in pay from welfare/unemployment insurance to actual minimum wage (at least) is disingenuous.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
