I like data as well.

You will notice that not only has the US not returned to pre-housing crisis levels it hasn't even returned to March 2020 levels.

This is cool and all but the post is about wage growth in the past 12 months.
It's like if the post said, "did you know 1+1=2?" and you came along saying, "Yeah well 2+2=4". It's not a counter argument to the statement in the post title. It's another statistic altogether.
No, handwaving would be saying something like, "well I haven't experienced this and also none of my friends have so it's not happening".
So, interesting stat which is relevant in a larger context but doesn't mean the post is factually incorrect.

It is worth noting that the article itself does bring employment rate into it, stating that the reason for the real wages spiking like that did in 2020 was the lower wage employees leaving work, thus raising the average wage.
I haven't seen the data on employment rate, but if the bottom end of employees are still not back to being as employed as they were at the start of the pandemic, then that may be keeping average wages higher than they'd otherwise be
