I'm sorry, there is no way that the lowest salaries have only gone up by 5% over 25 years. Minimum wage has gone up way more than 5%. Tradesmen, waitresses, unskilled labourers all earn considerably more. There's a reason it costs many times more to get a dent in my car repaired now than it did 25 years ago.

Someone is playing with the stats here.
