While I would love to flip burgers for $18/hr, it isn't happening. And I will not buy a $12 Big Mac

Posted by: chipshot on May 06, 08:20 in response to PhoneHome's post CNN "Unemployment rate falls to 49-year low"

That said, Many STATES have taken it upon themselves to dictate minimum wage in their state. The Fed does not have sovreign control over this aspect of labor. Call you state congress persons if wages are an issue. Here in the Portland Metro area (Oregon) minimum wage is $5 more than the federal $7.25. and this is mandated law by the Great State of Oregon. 

CNN "Unemployment rate falls to 49-year low" PhoneHome May 03, 06:32

"Wage growth, however, has not accelerated. Average hourly earnings rose 2.8% over the year, slightly above the average over the past year professor zovek May 03, 10:52

"Wages, Obama Economy's Weakest Link, Now Surging Under Trump" Try your distortions elsewhere. Didn't accelerate beyond phenomenal Yr Avg PhoneHome May 03, 11:07

"Editorial" an opinion piece about a survey of 119 companies that pay to be members of the trade group conducting the survey professor zovek May 03, 11:11

You can say the sky is yellow all you want. It doesn't make it true. Wages are up due to current financial policies than previously. {nm} PhoneHome May 03, 18:05

tell it to the 70% who haven't seen jack squat professor zovek May 03, 18:57

You never read your own articles. It says 70% did get a tax cut. They just didn't notice it because it was added to their weekly check. PhoneHome May 07, 08:52

NY Times (hardly right wing): avg annual wage growth 3.5%. 4.5% for the lowest wage earners. does anyone doubt it would be higher forlorne May 03, 11:41

Thanks Obama! islndr May 03, 11:32

the Obama Recovery began in June 2009 and will mark 10 years next month, approaching only the Clinton Recovery in post-war duration {nm} professor zovek May 03, 14:42

Don't forget how Obama enabled and encouraged 9 million foreclosures and ordered the DOJ not to prosecute big-bank execs {nm} IM Deplorable May 03, 17:10

Also read somewhere that lots of peoples must have more than one job to meet month's ends... Lukasck May 03, 11:48

That was a masterpiece of illogic, and uninformed illogic at that.Salaries are NOT mostly down, they are rising at 3.5% annually {nm} forlorne May 03, 12:04

What about those paid hourly, not salary? {nm} DTravel May 03, 12:29

When I said salaries were mostly dowm, I meant in constant dollars value... Amount may be higher... Lukasck May 03, 13:51

IF...but the fact is, inflation is currently running at 1.8% annually, 1.9% in 2018. 4.5% is HIGHER. {nm} forlorne May 06, 10:33

All the facts show high employment and fast rising wages. You can try to distort and misrepresent, but clear that current policies work. PhoneHome May 03, 12:51

*low employment {nm} Moviesnob May 03, 13:36

low UNemployment, high employment {nm} PhoneHome May 03, 14:49

doh, you're right! {nm} Moviesnob May 03, 15:18

Ok now do debt and car sales {nm} islndr May 03, 14:01

Posting a 7 month old article = trolling. {nm} Antibody May 03, 16:32

LOL, current articles and stats concur. Wages are up. Unemployment is down. No valid contradictory information being offered. Face facts. {nm} PhoneHome May 03, 18:10

Then post a current article. We could all easily find months-old articles about Trump's failing for you to "face the facts". {nm} Antibody May 03, 18:35

Alt right hate bulls—t up, basic human decency down. Thanks trump {nm} islndr May 03, 18:56

I have been touting economic policies, not Trump. I DO admit facts. Trump's demeanor is inexcusable. Unfortunately, so is others. {nm} PhoneHome May 03, 20:29

But, yes Islndr. Trump's rhetoric is indefensible. {nm} PhoneHome May 03, 20:41

I do appreciate you saying that about his rhetoric. (But could you add ‘collusion’, ‘obstruction’, and ‘many of his policies’?) heh {nm} islndr May 04, 01:16

No collusion, let it go. No obstruction. Just an organized effort to hold onto anything that can take him down or slow him down. {nm} PhoneHome May 04, 08:07

I also find the reactionary hate indefensible. It's fine to dislike someones policies and even their character, but much is way overboard {nm} PhoneHome May 04, 08:11

tell me if it was obama or clinton that you would let it go.(hardly) Possibly stole an election with russians and you are like let it go wtf {nm} islndr May 04, 08:46

Sigh, no collusion. Massive investigation concurs. There's plenty of things Trump has done wrong. This wasn't one of them. {nm} PhoneHome May 05, 09:34

Please provide the criminal code definition of "Collusion". {nm} The Donald May 06, 12:25

I'm certain you are then distressed re DNC operative colluding with Ukraine to help Clinton. right? Ukraine themselves forlorne May 06, 07:01

While I would love to flip burgers for $18/hr, it isn't happening. And I will not buy a $12 Big Mac chipshot May 06, 08:20
