Do you do anything but melt about the five people that don't agree with the masses on everything on this board?

Wage growth: +4.2% --> down from 4.6% in Feb.


I know it is touted as a bad thing when there isn’t wage growth.

But having wage growth still at 4.2% is still a bad sign for future inflation in my opinion.

Wage growth is an engine for future inflation. It burns hot and it burns for a long time. All business expenses wind up as an increase to the consumer. Which in turn spurs additional wage growth (employees have to actively look for higher paying jobs to pay the same bills. Inefficiencies in wage markets drive up wage income in certain sectors which drive up wage income in sectors that were originally operating efficiently).

To put it bluntly, if everyone makes an additional 4.2%, then no one makes an additional 4.2%.
And when Waffle House is starting wages at $20/hr, that trickles up and across all sectors (even ones where labor/management were previously in balance).

You are spot on with your analysis and unless we have an depression type event in the US there is no way for those wage inflation to get back into check other than rapid automation across all job sectors.

Lies, lies and more lies.
Massive layoffs ALL over the country and in every industry. Record consumer bankruptcy filings have suddenly surfaced too.

Its weird to see people openly cheer for their perceived demise. I dont think they know what that will entail.

maybe, just maybe.

if our elected leaders and the media would actually be transparent about the state of the economy, regardless of political side. and then make suggestions, or heaven forbid, lay forth a solution to turning things around. then maybe, just maybe folks would have a little more optimism.

but that ain't going to happen is it?

Bet you also have your head in the sand about the recession. You are the epitome of the CNN field reporter standing in front of the burning building in MN as he says “most peaceful protest”.

The majority of those layoffs have been in tech or others who had a hiring surge during covid. Most are just laying off the people the overstaffed with.


The number of people with 2nd jobs has gone up by 14 percentage points under Bidcen. You may look it up.
