Median State Level Data is from the BLS. Link
I compiled the TX and U.S. data from 2015 to 2020. I also calculated the “real” wages, by accounting for inflation using the National Headline CPI. Excel Spread Sheet:
Between 2015 and 2020, TX Real Median Hourly Wage grew by 5.1%. This is smaller than the national rate of 6.1%.
