Re: High turnover rate
You say that "hourly wages haven't increased since 1997." I am sure you meant min wage, but you seem to be talking about both. If you know someone who began working a min wage job in 1997, and is still working the same job, and still making min wage, I'd like to see that. People might start out at min wage, but they get raises, etc.
Hourly income dropped 2 times in 2003 by a whole .01%. I don't call that significant up against the 116 times it has gone up in 10 yrs. »data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyO···net_1mth
Since 1970, the unemployment rate for the year has been lower than 4.7 a whole 4 times. Forgive me if I don't push the panic button since the rate went from 4.6 in Jul/Aug to 4.7 in Sept/Oct. It might simply indicate an increase in people looking for jobs for the holidays etc. |
