Why isn’t pay going up? Rent and home prices, gas and food keep going up?

I'm trying to understand why jobs here pay the same as they did pre-covid. I live in a large city in the US and I haven't seen anyone raise wages, like anywhere. The cost of a small apartment now takes $60K a year to qualify, mcondalds is like $12 for a meal now. EVERY place still has the SAME LOW WAGES. I don't get it. I also don't get why home prices keep going up. I don't know who the hell is buying this stuff when everywhere pays so low.
