In the US, at least, the long term average is 3.10%, including the post-1913 Great Depression and the Oil Crisis/Great Inflation of the 1970s. From 1990-2020, the average has been 2.2%, just slightly worse than the stated goal of current US economic policy, which is to maintain long term inflation at a rate of 2%.
We had two consecutive years of 6-8% general inflation in Spain, and lots of raw food products almost doubled in size, and while that went down a while ago, they still stayed at a 30% increase. Salaries didn’t increase though, most companies in my sector gave a fat round 0 increase as a baseline, then a 4-5% increase for people that excelled in performance.
Yeah we do earn way more than the minimum wage but we are basically earning less than last year, every year.

Meaning, 3% beats inflation significantly more than half of the time, especially since 1990.
