参考解析:
Russ Roberts如何看待最近的工资增长?根据人名定位到第二段。A选项,它只反映了工资增长的底线,而不是整体。Russ Roberts, says just looking at the top-line wage growth figure doesn’t paint the whole picture. 仅仅看工资增长的顶线数字并不能描绘整个情况,可知A错误。B选项,与实际收益相比,它似乎被低估了。the wage increases we observe are probably understating the actual gains to workers in terms of their standard of living. 我们观察到的工资增长可能低估了工人在生活水准方面的实际收益,B正确;C选项,它倾向于弥补大衰退后的工资下降。第二段第一句,Baker says pay decreased during and after the Great Recession, and has yet to make up that lost ground.贝克认为,并没有弥补其下降,C错误;D选项,它已经根据低通货膨胀率进行了调整。It does not adjust for inflation,可知并没有依据通货膨胀概率进行调整,D错误。故本题正确答案选B。
