You would think both would change at the same time, right? But it must be due to the amount we pushed into the market the last few years during covid.

A lot of prices are fairly “sticky”, including wages. It can take them a long time to catch up.

That is true. It does come from changing jobs. But if you change jobs all the time, you have no semblance of life.

I think the hidden drawbacks you mentioned are a bigger concern than lifetime earnings.
