That's somewhat true. But inflation isn't the reason construction wages are stagnant. We are in the middle of an economic depression, people aren't building like they were 5 or 10 years ago and therefor the market for construction jobs is stagnant and even receding. Add the illegal mexican element to the mix and it gets even further removed from inflation.
No, it's not the reason, and those other things are true, too. But when the market was crazy, and prices were rising insanely, wages didn't keep up at the same rate. They never do. There is always a delay for wages.
