With the seeming increase in teacher strikes I am not sure I have seen much mention that teachers and other government workers were more impacted by inflation than many other professions where wages jumped commensurate (or greater than) the rate of inflation. In most industries whether it be fast food, tradesmen and computer software salespeople all saw big jumps in pay due to supply and demand but that is not the case for teachers.

Very good point. If you toggle between 2024 and nominal dollars, you see a real difference.
