But we haven't come up with any measures to deal with the matter. The wage hike is impractical because we just don't have room for it in our budget.

The terms of this deal are very generous to the union. I don't think it has any impact on the turnaround at Boeing, which is driven by productivity improvement, getting more planes out the door with less cost. It's independent of wage assets.
Christopher Mecray
The waiver that was approved provides very limited coverage at a considerable cost to the low-wage workers it seeks to cover.
Cindy Mann
Despite the payroll employment number being higher than expected, the fact that average hourly wages were so small means that there are not a lot of wage pressures, not a lot of demands to add new workers and, therefore, not a lot to worry the (Federal Reserve) in this report.
Ronald Hill
It's an entry-level wage, and if you increase it you're eliminating the amount of people who can get into those kinds of jobs.
Mike Spence
Health care is becoming less affordable every year. We'll continue to have to worry about whether lower-wage and even moderate-wage workers will continue to get good benefits through the workplace.
Gary Claxton
Realistically, though, everybody knows that the embargo won't end the fighting now because both sides have stockpiled enough weapons to wage war for the next two years. But cutting off the supply will impair their ability to fight on in the long term, and help force them eventually to come to a peace agreement.
William Dowell
This is just a one-year agreement. It's the first step on the road to doing what we need to do, which is paying our employees a fair and competitive wage.
Jeff Friedman
Frankly, over the last 100 years, the best way that that's been achieved has been when workers unite and use their strength in numbers to demand that they be treated with dignity and respect and be paid a wage that can help them support a family.
Carol Florman
We're looking at staying as long as it takes this time, ... We're going down there basically to make a wage with our equipment.
Brandon Young
Payroll tax no longer captures as much income of wage earners as it did 20 years ago.
Mark Weisbrot
Wal-Mart provides a chilling example of the damage that low-wage, nonunion corporations can wreak, and their business model is going to set the standards for our children unless we do something now. Wal-Mart is the sewer pipe through which good jobs are being flushed.
Andrew Stern
It just doesn't make sense to lock California's wage that goes to the entry-level, least-skilled employees in our economy to an index that will price many out of the job market.
Michael Shaw
The sustained high level of oil and sharply increased gas prices have driven up energy and raw material costs and manufacturers are continuing to respond by cutting employment to curb the wage bill and boosting investment in efficiency-improving measures.
Ian Mccafferty
These subsidies would ... reduce the unemployment rate of low-skilled workers; put the paychecks of low-wage workers closer to the median scale; decrease the unemployed worker's feelings of exclusion, dependence and powerlessness; inculcate the habits of self-efficacy and self-sufficiency; and increase employees' incentive to better themselves.
Al Gini
One man's wage rise is another man's price increase.
Harold Wilson
If the senator really wants to support an increase in the minimum wage, we should pass the minimum wage with tax relief.
Don Nickles
McDonald's does not close down and move across the state line when you raise the minimum wage.
Dan Cantor
The labor force surge should serve as a reminder that the economy is further from running out of labor than the economists at the Fed think. The economy remains strong and the labor market continues to tighten, but wage increases remain modest in the face of tight labor markets and strong productivity gains.
John Ryding
Throughout the history of man, there has been a constant struggle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. God and the Devil have decided to wage this war on Earth - with human proxies. Occasionally, these two avatars of light and darkness meet. And subsequently, a Dark Age or an Age of Enlightenment ensues.
Clancy Brown
At the same time, we've had very little increase in minimum wage, we've had continuing growth with respect to marginal jobs and social assistance rates haven't gone up.
Dianne Urquhart
California has always been successful because its high levels of public investment have gone hand-in-hand with high levels of private investment and economic growth. We're never going to be a low-wage, low-cost state. So we need to be a high-productivity state, and that involves substantial investments in education and infrastructure.
Lenny Goldberg
The Beige Book verifies what the data has already been saying - labor markets are tighter and wage pressures are intensifying.
Jay Feldman
I think you'll find that minimum wage is pretty much dictated by the market.
James Hardway
The September employment figures could be interpreted as signaling a slowdown in the economy with a pickup in wage growth, but don't count on it, ... The impact of hurricane Floyd might well have been larger than indicated.
Mike Englund
Hopefully, 21 years later, Judge Roberts possesses an openness with respect to issues of gender-based wage discrimination.
Olympia Snowe
Strength is Happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to struggle is proof of your victory as a human being.
Daisaku Ikeda
It's as good as it gets. You've got low inflation, minimal wage pressure, great productivity, booming growth and strong demand.
David Resler
Whether we were doing the minimum-wage increase or not this year, the wages were still going to go up because of the market. There always will be people who need to start at minimum wage, but there are not many people that have to in this market.
Beth Busch
The proliferation of part-time jobs and higher unemployment undermine the power of workers to bargain for higher wages and demand for security of tenure. Contractual workers are not allowed to join the union. So, Mrs. Arroyo?s appeal to employers to reach a middle ground with workers in granting a wage hike is a hoax.
Josua Mata
It's not the border that's broken but the U.S. labor market. There is a widening economic gap between immigrants and U.S.-born workers which reflects the broader deterioration in wage and working conditions for less-skilled and low-wage workers.
John Schmitt
[The GMB has welcomed news of tomorrow's increase in the minimum wage to more than £5 an hour for adult workers. The increase comes after the government accepted the recommendations of a report from the low pay commission. Further increases could take place after another report by the commission next year. ] We welcome the increase in the national minimum wage to £5.05 an hour.
Paul Kenny
We will never have real safety and security for wage earners unless we provide for safety and security for the wage payers and wage savers.
William J. H. Boetcker
It is an entry-level wage. It's not a wage you're expected to raise a family on. It is not one that you should be expected to remain on for a long time.
Paul Bukowski
If you are going to do something real, do a decent wage for teachers if you want to keep them.
Theo Harris
We've got to put Congress on the hot seat. Congress gave George Bush the authority and money to wage this war. Now they have to hold him accountable.
Bill Dobbs
There's a statute in the minimum wage law that allows municipalities and cities home rule to [set their own minimum wage rates]. We don't want to see [section] 50-4-29 changed and we support the right of the municipalities to set their own rates.
Gerry Bradley
The threat of a Fed policy firming on Nov. 16 will continue to weigh on the markets, despite the weak payroll figures reported in this morning's employment report. The sharp advance (in wage growth) will, nevertheless, worry Fed policy makers who are already concerned about the tightness in the labor market.
Marilyn Schaja
There's an acute public awareness that while there's been a lot of wage restraint, profits have grown.
Klaus Baader
The big concern is future inflation and the Fed is viewing that through the labor market. Wage growth continues to be muted.
Jeffrey Saut
We have tried to treat our people like we want to be treated. We try and pay a decent wage and have been fortunate to hire some really good people.
Gary Evans
Consumers are going to be quite supportive of the economy, even in light of petrol prices. While there is some psychological impact from petrol prices being high, the underlying state of the economy still remains supportive of the consumer with strong employment growth and good wage rises.
Paul Brennan
It's a steady, rather than explosive, expansion in the economy with the employment and wage data gradually picking up.
Geoff Lewis
It's not life insurance; it's wage replacement. It's trying to make the injured worker - or their family, in the case of deceased worker - maintain their lifestyle, their level of income.
Andy Wessels
Like all wage slaves, he had two crosses to bear: the people he worked for and the people he worked with.
Stephen Vizinczey
The bargaining committee is pleased that we were able to bring back a settlement to the membership that provides wage increases in each year as well as significant improvements in our pension and benefit package. This is a reasonable and responsible package that will enhance the future prospects for continuing production at the St. Thomas facility.
Richard Laverty
We have the lowest average wage rate of any metropolitan area we compete with. This might sound good if you're an employer, but combine this with our rapidly rising cost of living and absence of affordable housing, and rapidly rising housing costs - up 30 percent last year - and you have a formula for failure.
Bob Abberger
Productivity growth is the only possible way to achieve prosperity, to create a solid, sustainable foundation for wage increases and to ensure the country's development, for ourselves and for future generations.
Mario Draghi
No woman has less temptation to seek matrimony from sordid motives of selfishness or convenience. The actress is an absolutely independent wage-earner, and better compensated than the great majority of women who make their own livelihoods. She need not marry for money, or social position, for these are her natural possessions.
Billie Burke
With the way the labor market is, with unemployment so low and businesses in Tucson really having to go above and beyond what they usually do to attract potential workers, raising the minimum wage is not going to help that at all. I would say that the average business in Tucson is already paying above the minimum wage.
John Dougherty
It's still the aftermath of the jobs data, which came as a bit of a shock. For the dollar, now the focus is on wage inflation and inflation in general.
Michael Klawitter
The close-season transfer activity resulted in a substantial reduction in football wage costs and this, together with a planned reduction in amortisation costs will result in a reduced cost base and a sustainable financial position.
Peter Lawwell
That tells us the story that people are underemployed. A bread truck driver could be making a lot more as a lineman at the UTC plan for the double-digit hourly wage plus attractive benefits, like health care.
Michael Olivier
These are important numbers, particularly the one on employment costs. There's some concern about rising wage costs and rising prices and I think the market is really going to be on alert for that.
Adam Blankman
When considering wage increases, we cannot forget that people are still not recording a lot of the money they earn.
Peter Westin
The most eye opening view is the unequivocal support for an increase in the minimum wage.
Hunter Bacot
There is no mandate for corporations except for the minimum wage, (which is set at $5.15 an hour). After that, the issue's up to the ethicists.
William Dickens
It violates right order whenever capital so employees the working or wage-earning classes as to divert business and economic activity entirely to its own arbitrary will and advantage without, the social character of economic life, social justice, and the common good.
Pope Pius XI
Farm Bureau members commonly pay their guest-workers above minimum wage and provide other benefits, such as health insurance, workman's compensation, as well as travel to and from their home country.
Megan Wheaton
We've got all these wage claims. People are telling me they haven't been paid from Dec. 19.
Dean Fryer
What's astounding is that we've got high growth without inflation, ... there is a level of labor market tightness that will generate wage inflation.
David Shulman
The Burke Administration continues to dodge going public with news of the City's newest arrival - a $4.8 million dollar 'structural deficit' - while, at the same time, using that bad news to its advantage in wage negotiations with police and fire unions.
Kevin Burke
Personally, we would prefer the meal cost more and for the servers, busboys, etc., to be paid a fair wage.
Carol Brown
We're paying a reasonable wage compared to other wages available in the community. I don't know what it would take simply through paying more.
George Krawzoff
Right now is an excellent opportunity for businesses to look at wage-and-benefit packages and to become more competitive. It's also a time when companies can tap into the hidden labor pool -- people who are older or mildly disabled or those with weak language skills.
Mason Jackson
If (Saxton) thinks he can get rid of prevailing wages, he can think again, because the Democrats won't let him do it. However, let's redefine 'prevailing wages' so that it means a real wage for our economy.
Kevin Mannix
I think what the living-wage movement has done in the past 11 years is incredible. How many other issues are there where progressives have been this successful? I can't think of one.
David Neumark
We need to be very, very clear here that state workers have made enormous sacrifices in this contract. We endured what amounts to a two-year wage freeze.
Bob Master
Increasing the minimum wage is a bad move economically, philosophically and politically.
Marc Freedman
It's tough when you're working for minimum wage and have four kids.
Andy Payne
They've been distracted with the minimum wage, the water issue, so I didn't want to bug them about it. But we can't wait for this.
Gail Warden
You've heard New Orleans is poor, ... Well, it's poor because the government lets it be that way. The minimum wage is $5.25 an hour. You can't live on that.
Francisco Lopez
Lower tax rates would allow our businesses to grow at a much faster rate. It allows us to hire more people, to pay a higher wage, to invest more and to increase the pace, of course, at which our businesses can grow if we're not hampered by higher taxes.
Michael Crow
I have repeatedly turned down proposals for wage increases. Then last year, for the first time, I felt we met our most important core staff and most important critical function needs, and I accepted an increase.
Sally Jones
There are a lot of jobs that are in the gray area, so most employers are going to need outside assistance to interpret wage-and-hour law.
Brian Finucane
Wage and labor conditions have been a lot stronger than expected. We expect the bank to end its zero-rate policy in the third quarter.
Hiroaki Muto
Increasing the minimum wage would be a good thing. You can't eat off the minimum wage. You can't afford a house or an apartment. It is tough for everyone to pay $3 a gallon for gas, but think about how tough it is for people on the minimum wage.
Danny Thompson
America's economy is best served by reasonable increases in the minimum wage, so that we don't hurt small businesses from growing and creating future employment opportunities. Nationwide, voters will continue to reject Democrat support for higher taxes and lawsuits that impair our nation's economic progress.
Danny Diaz
We really need to find out, No. 1, the characteristics of these people, and No. 2, how many of them are earning minimum wage and accessing public assistance.
Pamela Atkinson
Wage inflation works with a lag and is going to stay high. It's hard to get too bearish about the outlook for spending growth.
Craig Ebert
In the last 30 years, it has taken robust economic growth for wage gains at the bottom of the income bracket. In general, this has not been a roaring recovery.
William Dickens
The governor still believes it's appropriate for the federal government to take action but inaction by the president forced us to seek a minimum wage increase.
Kate Philips
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against passion and your appetite.
Kahlil Gibran
It's inevitable that we're going to see a minimum-wage increase. We have to face that reality.
Bill Dombrowski
In 2005, health insurance premiums rose by 9.2 percent, which was three times the increase in wages. Certainly, there are no signs of that abating. It's very likely that in 2006, health care costs will continue to squeeze out wage increases.
Larry Levitt
The population of the state is larger now than it was in 2000-2001, when the previous records were being set. So even though we have more wage and salary jobs, there is still a little bit of wiggle room in the work force.
Joe Winter
Wal-Mart, just come in and pay people a living wage, and pay them benefits and give them a pass to the future.
Dennis Gannon
The Government?s policy is to reduce the wage bill to free resources for development purposes.
Joseph Kinyua
This is an effort that we look at as being important for working people across the state. It is past time for an increase in the minimum wage.
Bill Halter
We need to develop normal ties so that we won't have to wage war anymore.
Aslan Maskhadov
There is no mandate for corporations except for the minimum wage, which is set at $5.15 an hour. After that, the issue's up to the ethicists.
William Dickens
By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.
Friedrich Engels
PREDICAMENT, n. The wage of consistency.
Ambrose Bierce
A state needs low-wage labor to compete. I don't care where you are, it's a must.
John Kasarda
We want shorter contracts, because the times change. And we haven't had a pay raise since 1997. That's what this whole strike is about is unfair labor practices. We're asking for a livable wage.
Jason Klein
This is probably due to companies paying out lower bonuses and lower than estimated wage increases.
Pravin Gordhan
Farm work is hard work, and a lot of folks just don't want to do it at any wage. This is not about cheap labor.
Patrick O'brien
It is against stupidity in every shape and form that we have to wage our eternal battle. But how can we wonder at the want of sense on the part of those who have had no advantages, when we see such plentiful absence of that commodity on the part of those who have had all the advantages?
William Booth
Service-sector inflation has been picking up. Wage inflation has shown some signs of picking up so, unlike the U.S., [Britain] does have some worrying signs of inflation.
Gary Dugan
This is a very significant development. It shows that important artists, who we want in our community, care about people getting paid a living wage. We don't think he's the only one to feel this way.
Jack Porter
Right now, our economy is doing very well. We have very low unemployment, good job growth, good growth in gross receipts, so I think $9.50 is working very well. I would like to have a consensus in the community of what the next step should be with the living-wage law.
David Coss
(Statewide), the annual average wage and salary employment grew more than 46,000 jobs to a level nearly equal to the 2001 all-time high.
Rick Grice
The increase in unemployment and the lack of job creation has dramatically altered the beneficial dynamic that prevailed in the latter half of the 1990s, when tight labor markets and faster productivity growth fueled broad-based wage gains.
Lawrence Mishel
We need a living wage in Zimbabwe.... It is the poverty datum line of Z$35 million that we are demanding for the lowest paid Zimbabwe worker.
Lovemore Matombo
We could never afford to do it at GM's (wage rate).
Paul Wilbur
We've got to stop a wage-price spiral coming after the oil price shock. But so far we haven't seen such second-round effects.
Otmar Issing
Given the continued improvement in labor and wage conditions of late and the likelihood that that will be sustained, consumer spending is most likely to lead the current economic growth until the present cycle ends.
Osamu Katano
We have had a 30-year period in which the real median wage has grown 9%, while productivity is up 80%. Almost none of that improvement has gone to the majority of the labor force.
Mark Weisbrot
Unions are asking for more, but we are still a long way from excessive demands. The wage restraint continues.
Dirk Schumacher
Do we need to raise taxes at this stage? I don't know. Do we need to do something to make sure they (city employees) have a livable wage? Absolutely.
Dave Watson
The minimum wage was enacted in 1937 during the Great Depression and it has been increased 16 times. It's a well-established economic policy to help families.
John Freeman
We know it will be an uphill battle. Establishing a state minimum wage higher than the federal wage will actually hurt job creation and the very people it's supposed to help, the entry-level workers.
Farrell Quinlan
In the past year, the average wage went up over 8 percent. That's a faster growth than the state of Florida or the United States. But we are still 4 percent below the average wage in the state and 19 percent below the U.S.
Regina Smith
You knew some catch-up was going to have to occur on the wage front after two years of wage compression for the public sector workers.
Keith Collister
Eighty percent of participants pay all their staff above the minimum wage, and many of them are concerned about the flow-on effects of the 25 per cent increase to the minimum wage being promoted by NZ First and the Greens.
David Lowe
Our goal was to build a foundation to attract advanced technology jobs with wage rates far exceeding those of the average information technology employer. These are the first projects that are paying an average wage rate that exceeds that of the mining industry.
Charles Yates
The bond market had been worried that we were near full employment and wage pressure would pick up and that the Federal Reserve would have to raise short term interest rates in response. But now that the all important employment cost index was up just 0.6 percent, the Fed doesn't need to raise short term rates because the economy is slowing down.
Maury Harris
We are focusing on high-wage types of jobs to create wealth in the county.
Gary Tucker
It is a long-term trend. Over the past 30 years, the median wage has grown about 9 or 10 percent.
Mark Weisbrot
Over the past decade we've seen the biggest influx of immigrants in our nation's history and at the same time a decline in resources for wage and hour enforcement at the state and federal level. These centers have become a safety net that's tried to enforce the laws.
Janice Fine
Employers could be required to register. They could post wage bonds.
Steve Smitson
We don't want the minimum wage increase.
Angela Jones
There are parts of the country, particularly the two coasts, where the price of housing has so outstripped any income gains that moderate wage earners find it difficult to find a decent home in the community where they work.
Nicolas Retsinas
We are looking at approximately $25,000 to $30,000 for the retrofit of the skate park itself and that's at prevailing wage, and we are looking at an additional couple thousand dollars in architectural design fees.
Jennifer Clarke
We expect a contract with a respectable wage increase. We are willing to negotiate.
Detlef Wetzel
You have all these people around the area that's out of work, and they're hiring these people for cheaper labor instead of giving an honest wage to these people that's from here that's out of work.
Richard Palmer
The lure of a $20-plus wage an hour is certainly going to attract some people.
Jeff Black
I do not support raising the minimum wage, and the reason is as follows. When the minimum wage is raised, workers are priced out of the market. That is the economic reality that seems, at least so far, to be missing from this discussion.
John Sununu
It's hard to accuse them of being behind the curve. If anything they're being a bit too rigid. Wage pressure has proved to be modest. The ECB will probably be looking to see slowing in housing credit growth.
Brian Coulton
If we have (economic) activity going up quickly, inflation remaining close to two percent and a high wage deal in Germany, then the guys at the ECB will start to get nervous.
Stephane Deo
There is still a wage gap in every single job classification except one or two, ... There still is discrimination in pay in equal jobs.
Karen Nussbaum
There's a state law that says they have to pay their employees minimum wage for 90 days ... We found out the day before yesterday that at the end of 90 days, we're all going to be terminated.
Carol Farley
Germany is a split economy. Wage moderation made German companies internationally competitive in the first place. If wages only rise moderately, people may feel optimistic, but they simply don't have that much to spend.
Matthias Rubisch
That's logical because there is no connection, ... They're paid by the hour, not by performance. It's a (union-) negotiated wage.
John Wanous
You can't earn enough money getting paid minimum wage to pay your rent, utilities and eat.
Jan Pruitt
The superintendent's budget provides help to a large segment of the FCPS workforce but doesn't provide the needed competitive edge. For many of our education support professionals, it fails to provide even a living wage.
Rick Baumgartner
Our economy runs on the backs of low-wage workers. This is a chance for them to earn a little bit more and have a better chance of survival here.
Nora Hochman
The last 18 months have shown some progress for low-wage workers. But the majority of gains have been at the upper end. My guess is that the gap is going to be widening. Is everyone going to be better off? I don't think that narrowing is going to be a long-term trend.
Stephen Levy
Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas.
Gunther Grass
Often all it takes is a phone call to employers to get back pay. Because there is so little government enforcement in low-wage industries, many employers are counting on nobody to be there to stop them.
Janice Fine
You want the wage base and the job base to adjust to the housing reality.
Susan Wachter
This is not a contract about big wage gains. The big issue is to make sure that people affected by plant closings are looked after.
Jim Forbes
We can't afford a baby-sitter. And now they want us to pay for health insurance and take a wage freeze. There is no way to live a decent life in New York City any more.
José Soto
We still feel like we're far apart on key issues, namely the two-tier system on wages and benefits, and wage parity with the rest of the industry.
John Dugan
We feel that no matter what your immigrant status, you have the right to a living wage, a voice on the job and a vote on the ballot.
Matt Richards
If you put that minimum wage too high, prices are going to have to go up. I haven't had a price increase in four years. I need one, but I hate to give one because I feel like people have sticker shock everywhere they go.
Glenn Smith
The cross match validates the information we receive. The result is more-accurate wage records, which means more-accurate tax rates for businesses across the state.
Annette Copeland
The fact that hourly wages were so small and, in fact, the work week was down -- it is very positive. It means there are not a lot of wage pressures, not a lot of demands to add new workers.
Ronald Hill
We are working with our unions to get contracts settled and to further reduce wage costs, ... I am confident they will respond constructively.
John Creighton
These low health insurance rates and the persistent wage gap limit women's ability to move out of poverty. Women continue to sacrifice almost a quarter of their earning power every year to gender inequalities in the labor market. We need strong legal protections against discrimination and public policies that reduce poverty, increase wages, and extend health benefits to the uninsured.
Heidi Hartmann
It is low-wage workers who are being hurt the most by the steady drip, drip, drip of coverage draining out of the employer-based health insurance system.
Andrew Altman
Untrained accounting graduates have been drafted to wage war against sophisticated liars and thieves. And as multi-billion dollar accounting failures have shown, it hasn't been much of a fight.
Joseph Wells
The war we are fighting today against terrorism is a multifaceted fight. We have to use every tool in our toolkit to wage this war - diplomacy, finance, intelligence, law enforcement, and of course, military power - and we are developing new tools as we go along.
Richard Armitage
It (minimum wage increase) artificially inflates wages. For example if you raise the lower rate to maybe $7 an hour, then the person making $10 before now wants to make $12 or $13 dollars an hour.
Michelle Bolton
I thought in this country, the best social program was a job. Yet minimum wage jobs aren't paying enough to keep families out of poverty.
Barbara Mikulski
It's now clear that the wage concession would not give them enough cash to continue for any time frame.
Brett Caldwell
Minimum wage was last increased in 1997. It?s wrong that people that work full-time can?t support their families.
Bill Halter
We're saying our state is not about low-wage, low-skill jobs. And we're going to push to keep corporations from using immigrants as a mechanism to push down wages in this state.
Mike Gronstal
With the construction jobs, followed by the high-wage jobs, at the plant, it is one of the greatest pieces of news I've been associated with.
Sen. Hugh Leatherman
My members need health care. My members need to be able to have a decent wage.
Jeff Brooks
The comparison will be difficult because of the calendar shift of Easter, which is in April this year compared to March last year. That will have a big impact on the March numbers. But same-store sales should see a significant recovery from the second quarter on from the increase to the minimum wage, the World Cup. There will be many drivers.
Fernando Tracanella
The need to figure out how we can build those bridges so we can understand what's in our community, at least. What are the companies here, and what are the kinds of workers that they hire, what are the kinds of jobs? These are living-wage jobs, not just service-oriented jobs.
Walt Blomberg
In order to qualify for Vision Iowa grants, businesses will have to pay $20.32 an hour in Plymouth County. That's the only downside to it. We have pushed wage standards up in the county.
Gary Tucker
Both the national and Colorado labor markets have seen steady wage and salary growth over the last two years.
Rick Grice
Politicians must decide: either they open up the low-wage sector and offer a new chance to the long-term unemployed and those with few qualifications, or they introduce a legal minimum wage. Both together won't work.
Dieter Hundt
Job cuts are mainly coming from manufacturers, who are still suffering. We are going to see further increases in the claimant count rate and the odds of any sort of wage inflation problem emerging are diminishing rapidly.
Ross Walker
The ECB will want to signal that it doesn't want to see the headline inflation rate translate through into higher wage settlements next year.
Gwyn Hacche
The tax laws are written by men with considerable net worth, and with little understanding of what wage-earners must do to make ends meet.
Martin L. Gross
The purpose of the minimum wage is not to give somebody earning $25 an hour a $2-an-hour raise.
Chris Cramer
There's plenty of jobs in Las Vegas, but the town is basically made up of minimum-wage workers. I just don't know who can afford these homes.
Mark Bradley
The economy's doing fine, except if you figure in working families, ... We're posting great numbers in aggregate demand, yet the lousiest on record for wage growth.
Jared Bernstein
In my early days, a goal against us was shrugged off. Nobody liked conceding a goal, but once the ball had gone into the net it was accepted as 'one of those things' and everybody in the team would concentrate on trying to get the goal back. But once the maximum wage had been lifted and win bonuses became all-important, it was suddenly considered a crime to concede a goal.
Gordon Banks
If you are a youngster in the French suburbs, your mates are second-generation Muslim immigrants and you want to wage war against society, the system, where do you go?
Olivier Roy
Eleven states and the District of Columbia have a higher minimum wage than we have here in New York, ... caboose on the economic train.
Andrew Cuomo
Choteau is a minimum-wage town. Montana is not all that great for wages.
Susan Miller
This area needs a well-trained and well-educated workforce for business and industry. Industry that is environmentally friendly. Workers need fair wages. The minimum wage needs to be raised. Healthcare costs need to be lowered. The long awaited wage increases cannot be eaten up by an all-encompassing 5 percent regressive sales tax.
Christopher Shropshire
Northwest has to be careful not to overreach and push the various employee groups over the edge. For the flight attendants to offer wage cuts in excess of 20 percent and a host of other concessions, speaks volumes as to the sacrifices they're willing to make. Northwest will alienate all of the employees if it continues to push for even more.
John Budd
