Boost the economy, sure, but probably not increase wages.
A Pandemic Ara social safety net would wonders for the economy. It would also increase wages indirectly by increasing what economists call the reservation wage, or the minimum amount a person is willing to work for.
A pre-Pandemic Era, neoclassical, supply-side policy would almost certainly be nominally good for the economy, but businesses would just increase profits without increasing jobs or raising wages.
