After the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in early 2022 , most workers around the world took a hit to their real wages.

Finland , Italy , the Czech Republic , Sweden and New Zealand were hardest hit by this phenomenon.

The United States fared better than others as real wages were just 0.8% lower in Q1 of 2024 than Q4 of 2019 .
