Wages Rising at fastest rate in a decade

Not really surprising that it’s happening in a tightening labor market. That’s why the continued decline in unemployment has been so important.

Yes, as Trump told you.

The article bashes it as rising labor costs because they are leftist at Bloomberg, but you can’t hide the truth of it. Wages rising for American. Poor libby has to be sad at good news again.

“Economists expect a significant acceleration in wage growth in the second half of the year, boosted by a tightening labor market. The labor market is considered to be near or at full employment, with a 4 percent jobless rate.”

Good news.

Here is to hoping that it doesn’t all get screwed up.

Only the dems winning the house would do that…

Which bolsters my prediction that the Dems are going to take the house just as an economic downturn happens and the CEC will blame them and people like you will eat it up.

Not to mention if they do take the house, we’ll blame the Russians… Since Trump has been so hard Putin, unlike ol’ flexible and the uranium queen… hee, hee, hee…

I have this feeling that your last post is not going to age well.

Why, it’s the same strategy the swamp is using right now…

And yet, when taking inflation into consideration, real wage growth is 0 and actually negative (-0.2) for production and nonsupervisory roles.

Gold. Pure laugh out loud gold.

Steele dossier UK Russia dirt…yet somehow…Trump.

The Uranium Queen must be the Trump card.

Oh, Gosh is that consumer confidence rising to near 18 year high?

MarketWatch

Consumer confidence creeps back near 18-year high

Americans are still plenty confident in a U.S. economy that’s been growing for more than nine years and shows little sign of slowing. The consumer confidence...

Isn’t that normal? I worked for a great corporation(40 years) but our raises were just a shade under cost of living usually.

Still my pay went from about 3 dollars an hour to over 33 dollars an hour when I retired.

That was good pay.

How is calling it labor costs “bashing it”?

The article was fairly well balanced, citing increased wages, increased benefits, and a rosy forecast for the rest of the year.

Didn’t bash anything.

The headline held a negative connotation

Only for those who don’t know anything about the subject and are also fishing for a reason to call rhe media “leftist”.

Hell…the article even left out how rising inflation is eating away at these gains.

No, getting a raise that is under cost of living/inflation is not normal or good. It literally means your pay is becoming less valuable.

I call bull feathers. You are just trying to throw cold water on good news because it involves Trump.

You really think in my own case that 33 an hour is “not good”?

If your raise is less than the increases in the cost of living, then it sounds like your got paid pretty well when you began working for your corporation. Even though your pay hasn’t kept up with inflation, you still feel you were being well paid at the end.

Rising costs due to tariffs inflation and the rising cost of borrowing to combat inflation are going to eat up gains.

Again why people love the boom bust cycles versus steady growth is beyond me.

I don’t listen to Trump. He’s fake news.

You mean like when the swamp crashed the real estate market in 2008? And we have steady growth.

Certain posters just post the most stupid ■■■■■

Like there was not a boom prior to 2008.
