Miami was notoriously low to begin with so no surprise they top this list
I was thinking the same thing.
What you're really seeing there is a statistical blip, since these are year over year figures, caused by the post-pandemic rebound in leisure/hospitality.
I work in the cruise line industry and it was a nearly 2 year shut down. So much of Miami is based on vacation-style hospitality and it went from a full on shut down to enormous demand this year.

Miami fully shut down? Compared to where?

"I work in the cruise industry and it was a nearly 2 year shut down."
The subject of the sentence is the cruise industry and not Miami.
The cruise industry and other types of beach vacation travel are critically important to Miami. The pandemic had a greater downturn on leisure hospitality industries like these and the cruise lines were among the hardest hit as they could reopen in the same way, while others could.
Refer to the link you posted in the first post and you'll see the greatest wage gains were in leisure and hospitality.
