That's not true. They didn't measure wages, but used it as a proxy. What they're actually measuring is work done, or tasks.

Last I checked, most people work a job where there is more work to do than time in the day to do it - which would be the conditions for believing that wage value index would be closely correlated with displacement.

Not only does the article title say the thing the paper says it's not saying, there is little reason to believe that the thing it says is the outcome, even if the paper wasn't explicit about not saying the thing.
