>Wages are stagnant

The graph you linked shows wages increasing every month, consistently, over the last two years.

It is also not measuring YoY, it’s MoM.

Fair enough, I did not concisely or accurately demonstrate that wages adjusted for cpi have returned to ~2019 levels which in my mind seems stagnant.

That’s a fair assessment. Wages have not adjusted uniformly, while inflation tends to hit people fairly equally, so some have benefited significantly more than others, while other have suffered significantly more than the rest.
