Your source lists wage growth during that period as 13.2%

Meanwhile inflation over that period is significantly higher at 19.18%.

So, no, low end wage growth has not kept up with inflation.

13.2% real wage growth, not nominal wage growth. Real wage growth is what you get after inflation is subtracted out of nominal wage growth. 0% real wage growth would be keeping up with inflation.

That says "real wage growth" of 13.2%. IOW 13.2% on top of the 19.18% for nominal wage growth of >33%.

1 decade of decent growth doesn't exactly negate multiple decades of negative growth though either.
