There is no such evidence. At best, it's a fairly minimal increase, and
certainly isn't on par with the wage increase. The increase likely stems more from people upscaling their living conditions than anything else.

And no; it's literally not
mathematically possible for an increase in wages to lead to an equal increase in prices. Literally not possible. It's like trying to argue that you can lift yourself off the ground if you pull on your shoelaces hard enough.
You're pushing fantasies that are not rooted in reality.
Ignoring what I said doesn't constitute an argument.
Not taking a job when you're already poor means you suffer hardship.
Hardship is duress.
Thus, any time you take a job to avoid suffering that hardship, you make that choice under duress. It is
not a free and open choice.
The labor market is
not a free market, and
all the power in that market lies with employers. Unless we institute a basic income system, where "not working by choice" becomes a valid hardship-free option, that will remain the case.
And? They'll whine. And then they'll pay the taxes, and suck it up. They really don't have any other options, other than shutting down their company completely, and that just frees up the capital and the marketplace for someone else to take over.
