RedZone Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 May 4, 2018 at 8:39 am ET Wage Growth Still Sluggish Average hourly earnings rose four cents in April to $26.84, a 0.15% increase from the prior month. On a year-over-year basis, wages grew 2.6%, below the 2.7% rate economists had forecast. The sluggish pace of wage growth should temper fears that an increasingly tight labor market--with the unemployment rate falling to 3.9% in April--is putting too much upward pressure on inflation. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/april-2018-jobs-report-analysis/card/1525437590 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really weird. Average Americans since the tax cuts kicked in have seen an increase of $6.21 per week. Works out to about a $323 annual increase. That's a little short of the $4,000 to $9,000 projected by trump/ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Do you believe this, fasteddy2? https://www.speaker.gov/general/new-report-tax-reform-will-raise-wages-least-4000-average NEW REPORT: Tax Reform Will Raise Wages at Least $4,000 on Average October 16, 2017|Speaker Ryan Press Office Tax reform is all about more jobs, fairer taxes, and bigger paychecks. That last one is particularly important. Pro-growth reform means a pay raise for American workers. And a new report from the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) shows just how much they stand to gain from our plan. The study finds that as a result of corporate tax reform alone, on average, American families will see a wage increase of at least $4,000 annually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
