  • Job Growth Was Fantastic Last Month. So Why Aren’t Wages Rising More?

    From nytimes.com

    First the good news. The American job market has truly, really, finally, unquestionably shifted into a higher gear. The 295,000 jobs the nation added in February was comfortably above expectations, drove the unemployment rate down two-tenths of a percentage point to 5.5 percent, and completed the best stretch for job creation in nearly 15 years. Over the last six months, the nation has added just shy of 300,000 jobs a month, the strongest number since the six months ended in March 2000. This time a year ago, the economy was locked in a yearslong tepid recovery that involved adding 2 to 2.5 million jobs a year. That ... (full story)

Because the super-rich that rule are not interested in others having higher wages, only that more and more are put into financial bondage to their corporations at slave wages.

If anybody is going to get more money, it is going to the super-rich. Their "for hire" Republicans have been given their marching orders and will see to it.

It is NOT that I disagree with anything you say mate. But fark-shit, don't you ever get tired of saying it?

From when I was a cop, in Perth West Australia - 35 years ago, I quickly learned that the most angry person cannot vent their anger forever. Sooner or later, when given enough time, even the most angry person eventually calms down and takes a breath.

But after 662 news comments from you, all venting the same rhetoric, now I am not so sure.

What happened to you? A bank took your home? You lost your .... what is it in the US a 401k ....banks smashed you in the GFC? Lost your wife and kids because of it?

Your retorts are NOT informative. What you say is very old news.

But what drives these comments? Why be so useless with the same noise all the time?

I think it is not just about venting but about spreading the message to as many people for as long as possible.
If you're passionate about something, repeating the same rhetoric can become about informing (since every day/week/month/year, new people tune in so the message is only old to those who have been around a while).
That's my take on it.

Probably because they need the workers but global economic outlook while improving, is still poor.

Need to employ more workers, but can't pay them more because confidence is not strong enough yet.

I could not agree more ... . It would not be so bad if there was something constructive from a trading standpoint in all that fierce, hot mess, but, well, I have yet to see anything like that ... . And while I am probably the last person to trample on someone's freedom to express their opinion, well, TAH has exercised this freedom more than amply and has a thread to which he can post for people interested in his message and his particular trading methodology.

I agree mate, its ongoing. While there is some truth to his rantings its like a broken record. I hope he vents his anger enough to move on, but until that happens I have him on /ignore to save myself the reading.

I remember the old time, saying in the future : less days work, bigger salary and where that money go now not in the pocket of the worker who work the same 5-6 days a week

The money return in the pocket of the head office administrator to buy back shares of the company or to re-invest in the market like an insurance and contribute to the bubble stock market

Factory order m/m less -> employer earn less -> employee wage less -> employer earn more -> more new jobs (lower lower wage)

Wages are a function of market forces. If this is a political issue, then why aren't all who are considered super-rich Republicans ??
Very interesting.... something missing out of the puzzle, government own efforts to save and produce liquidity
