Biggest factor is where you live... because we all know that people are paid according to the value they create, and bits forged in places with high rent are inherently more valuable.
Everyone wages are more so tied to how much leverage they have. Increasing one's output has never been a great recipe for increasing compensation, however, increasing your leverage (get a new offer, get a government certified monopoloy, lower the supply of people with your skills, etc) will do wonders for your wage!
Seriously, though.
You might question rate of leverage increase between your value / other factors, but ranting about "decoupling" seems simply wrong.
If the job can be performed remotely, then suddenly workers must compete with the global stock of candidates. And there are many locations around the globe that are much cheaper than low-cost areas in the US.
