From June 2017 to June 2018, employer costs for total compensation in private industry rose 2.9 percent, the same increase as the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. Wages and salaries rose 2.9 percent over that period, and employer costs for benefits rose 2.8 percent. Compensation costs often increased faster than consumer prices over the past several years, but the gap has narrowed recently. For the year ending in June 2015, for example, compensation costs rose 1.9 percent, compared with a 0.1 percent increase in consumer prices. haha, yes, thank you for these incredible and unprecedented wage gains, tax cuts --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:909778477] in wages cont...
