The problem is it depresses all wages when it's so low. Really really need to have our schools teach critical thinking as 50% of the public don't understand causality. Wonder to which political spectrum they lean towards.

This is very true. In my sector (healthcare) wages have been stagnant for years.

No it doesn’t. Competition for workers has driven wages way higher. It’s a totally irrelevant number because no one is actually paying that or making that.
