Not necessarily. The historical trend (talking really big picture) is that dropping costs have been associated with much higher wages for everyone.
That'd hold small picture too. Observe that income is a flow while costs are a static measure. In theory, if my costs halve then we wouldn't expect wages to halve. They'd halve per-widget and there would be more demand for widgets, leading to a slight quality of life increase.
