Giving a significant raise next week. At least 3% probably as high as 5%. Got to keep who you got. That's going to drive a lot of wage increases. Supply and demand baby.

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 2, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 2, 2018 "The faster pace of wage gains indicates that the labor market is tightening, with employers having to pay higher wages to get the workers they want," Nationwide Chief Economist David Berson says. The rise in employment was driven by the construction industry, restaurants, health care and manufacturing, all sectors that added jobs last month. Employment in other major industries, including mining and transportation, "changed little over the month," the BLS says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One factor that will hit the labor market is how many boomers will retire early with their portfolio's doing so well. One would think you would be in pretty safe investments if you are that close to retirement but after the crash in 2008 did people ride this wave to make it back up and then some.
