I think (wages) will level off, but it will never be a minimum-wage market again.
Glen Helton
The wages of sin are death, but by the time taxes are taken out, it's just sort of a tired feeling.
Paula Poundstone
As the rate of gain in corporate profits slows, even though the economy is booming, productivity is slowing and wages are going up, so the market will feel worse -- but people will be feeling better.
Leslie Alperstein
Some of them actually reported the cash payments, but Eddie understood that they might not do that. Eddie also did not have his corporation deduct those payments as salaries or wages, so the corporation ended up paying more tax than it should have. It overpaid in amounts many times more than the government claimed it lost by virtue of this behavior.
Hank Asbill
Gains in consumer prices will probably accelerate at a gradual pace as wages rise, consumption picks up steam and companies pass more costs to consumers. Investors should anticipate the Bank of Japan won't stop with one rate increase alone.
Hiromichi Shirakawa
The average driver now earns $68,000 a year in wages and benefits, a 33 percent increase since 1994. We continue to offer higher wages and benefits in the new contract.
Ian Hunter
Wages in Idaho are a troubling issue.
Beadsie Woo
There is money on the books but it's dedicated to increased wages. It's going to be quite a major problem. It really is.
Gerald Smith
American workers play by the rules, but the rules no longer work. Wages are down, hours are up and the gap between rich and poor is staggering and growing.
Anna Burger
The administration is using the devastation of Hurricane Katrina to cut the wages of people desperately trying to rebuild their lives and their communities.
George Miller
If those numbers come in as expected, you can pretty much bet on a seeing a major rally in the markets. The expectations will be that, so long as wages are tame, the Fed will bide their time and leave rates alone.
Stephen Slifer
If you're a director of a company you have a lot of responsibility. A director of a company is personally liable for wages owed to an employee.
David Redmond
The time when Europe competed mostly with countries that offered low-skilled work at low wages has gone. Today, countries like China and India are starting to deliver high skills at low costs.
Andreas Schleicher
With a tight job market, you would expect to see wages rise, but they are lagging.
Hart Hodges
The risk is increasing of renewed build-up of inflation pressure, from energy and wages.
Stephen Roberts
As employment expands and wages and salaries firm, a broader spectrum of consumers will be in better financial shape, which should help lift sales more evenly across the board.
Rosalind Wells
We want to go from confrontation to cooperation, ... We want our members and our workers to have health care, we want our members to get wages and improvements based on productivity. Most of all, we want our workers to be treated with dignity.
Peter Kalikow
It's more of a policy decision to not grant us the benefits and the wages than an inability to pay. They're not denying their ability to pay.
Jim Buessing
Japan's overall consumer spending is pretty firm as a trend because wages are rising.
Taro Saito
The Fed is doing what it has to do, talking a tough line. It still remains to be seen when the upward pressure on wages will trickle up to inflation. Right now, the average American consumer has been untouched, unscathed by the events in Asia.
Kathleen Camilli
We did a little bit better on wages that [were] offered to us, but we were not successful in getting the pension proposal that we were hoping for.
Al Harrison
Mandate has very grave doubts as to whether the social partnership process, with its current restrictive agenda and parameters can truly address the income needs of those on middle and lower incomes, given the very narrow focus on competitiveness and wage restraint being applied to the talks by both the government and employers in terms of wages in particular.
John Douglas
I hope they both stay up. Jobs and careers are on the line if you go down into the Championship. The wages aren't as big but it's not as bad for the players, the staff who are affected more.
Phil Neville
They have to get this resolved so they move on to the other issues. Until they know how many people will be left after the retirements take place, they won't know how much money GM will have to pay to subsidize the wages and benefits for its former workers who are left at Delphi, once the new pay scales are implemented.
George Anthony
The issue for the coming year is whether workers will be able to catch up on their wages.
Michael Wald
Wages have been outpacing inflation. However, we're also seeing more layoffs this year than we did last year, so there is a lot of competition out there.
Mario Derose
Our members, six to one, oppose establishing a state minimum wage. There are members who believe the market should determine the wages. And the market does a good job of it.
Michelle Bolton
We have lots of homes for upper income people, but the middle class is being squeezed stagnant wages and the cost of homes rising so fast -- 8 percent, 9 percent a year.
Glen Lewinski
The wages (in Macomb) are still higher than most, across the board, but this is one more indicator ... of the restructuring of our economy.
Kurt Metzger
I will promote legislation to improve working conditions, wages and benefits for our workers and to provide incentives needed for growth and competition in the small business and manufacturing companies.
Jennifer Stewart
The 40-hour work week is under attack. The right to organize is under attack. We are fighting for retirement security. Fifty million Americans are without health care. And real wages are falling.
James R. Hoffa (jimmy)
The issue is the wages that educators make. We can't compete with what a master's degree-prepared nurse can get in the private sector.
Rhonda Taylor
The consensus view is that immigration has a negative impact on the real wages of native workers. We have shown that the effects of immigration on the average wages of (U.S.) natives indeed turn positive and large.
Giovanni Peri
Moreover, the four motors of consumption -- that is wages, inflation, unemployment and consumer confidence -- are on a downward trend and should drag spending down.
Emmanuel Ferry
To now come in and say this horrible tragedy occurred and we need to go after some of his settlement money for lost future wages so we can pay back the pension fund -- it makes no sense to me.
Eric Stoltenberg
Wages are obviously part of it, but it's also working conditions, their own safety, their ability to have the drugs, supplies and equipment they need. And part of it is management: Do they feel like they have career-advancement opportunities? Do they feel they are being respected and treated fairly?
Eric Friedman
Even after 9/11, when their life-saving role became clear, employers have dragged their feet on raising wages to a mostly African-American workforce. Four years after 9/11, the real estate industry has short-changed security officers, undermined the safety of their own buildings and jeopardized the well-being of the entire city.
Eric Adams
[She tells USA TODAY that demand for some professions needed in rebuilding was already strained amid demand for new housing. A labor shortage could push up wages, she says.] We're going to see a tremendous boom in construction, ... People want to come back home.
Elaine Chao
The job market is firm, the outlook for hiring remains firm and hourly wages will pick up. Wages will grow enough to keep consumer spending up.
