Millions of Americans did not get a ginormous pay raise in November. Your perspective is skewed by the tech industry bubble.

Where is this happening? Even fast food places in my area are starting at $15 an hour, and paying people to show up to interviews.

A lot of people went from $10 to $12 or $22 to $26.

Yeah - the sign at my local McDonald's is offering jobs at $16/hr - 2 years ago it was ~$10.
