I don't see why costs for supplies should decrease, necessarily, even in real terms. I guess you can have consistent churn at a brick & mortar business to keep paying minimum wage by replacing people with younger people as they leave.
But that setup only applies if you're paying at the bottom of the scale and not giving out benefits. Bennies have been increasing by much more than inflation, and the type of jobs giving bennies typically expect a 4% raise, minimum, if you're doing acceptably at it.
