U.S. wage trend indicator lowest since 1993 By Rex Nutting WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Wage increases at private firms will likely average about 3 percent through the end of the year, according to the Bureau of National Affairs' quarterly wage trend indicator released Tuesday. The private publishing firm's index signals turning points in wages about six to nine months in advance, said Joel Popkin, the economist who developed the index. The index is at its lowest level since 1993. "The U.S. economy is stuck in a period of tepid job growth that has dampened wage pressures in private industry," BNA said. "The labor market is about as weak now as it was in 1993, and the rate of annual wage increases is about the same as it was 11 years ago," Popkin said. cbs.marketwatch.com

I consider diminishment nanner, nanners, piss poor debate style let's back up. yesterday you tried to make the argument that market sentiment on bonds is bullish. your "proof" was MarketVane. you made a similar howler call in January, again using MarketVane as your "proof". what's funny is that you can't even address the debate point i brought up (faulty MarketVane and your reliance on it). instead, sensing defeat perhaps, you move the goalposts and start moralizing about debate style. so forgive me if i laugh in your general direction.
