Conditions have been getting worse. Capitalism requires this. Wealth disparity is skyrocketing, wages fail to keep up with productivity, and American Imperialism is causing genocide.
A minor uptick as compared to a couple years ago does not mean Capitalism is no longer declining.
Wages have been stagnating with respect to productivity, disparity is rising, home ownership is becoming more impossible for the average person, and the bulk of this decline is exported to the Global South which we brutally exploit for cheaper goods.
That certainly doesn’t look steady, lol. Large investment firms and banks are buying up a large number of single family housing, making it unaffordable.
Wages do go up, yes, with respect to inflation. They get nowhere close to productivity increases, as exploitation rises.
I am referring to the literal times we live in. Single-family housing units are being gobbled up by large firms, this will not show up on your graph just yet.
The Workers are now recieving even less of the Value they create than before, that’s a wild way to justify this.

Except the uptick is from 1990, it’s been getting better for about 34 years now, with setbacks in the dotcom crash, financial crisis and the pandemic.
There haven’t been better wages at any point in US history as we beat the uptick of the 1970s some time ago

Home ownership rate has been steady for decades
The wages have been going up, just not exactly as fast productivity for several reasons:

Look at the scale, it’s between 63-68 for decades and the top number was literally a bubble
I agree that not all of the productivity gains go to the workers, but the workers are better off now than before

Corporations owning houses is a tiny percentage, again, home ownership rate is 60%+
It is not a tiny percentage, and it is getting worse.
