Hi there, first time posting on here so not sure if this is in the right place but I'm not great at math and was hoping one of you could help me figure something out. I got hired at a retail job in Oct 2019 for $18 an hour. In Oct 2020 I got a raise to $19.25 an hour. And then just this past Oct of 2021 I got a raise to $21.75 an hour. What I do know is that the inflation increase of 2021 was 7% and the largest increase since 1982. So my question for you all is, are those raises that I have received actually causing me to make more money than when I started, or has my hourly rate just evened out with the inflation increases over the past 2 years. Hope that makes sense, let me know if I can clarify, and thanks for your help. I want to know so I can ask for a higher raise and have some sort of grounds for it.
