NO, wages are not going up, there are fewer jobs, and what jobs there are are not paying as well as they use to, and pay raises will be much, much smaller than in the past.
Food and fuel prices will eat up what little extra money people have......which will cause more lay offs. I’m not quite old enough to remember the Great Depression, but we are rapidly coming to that point, if we have not reached it already.
If you have been skipping the food/fuel price hike threads, better NOT, the trend because of various reasons is going to see food and fuel skyrocket. Prices for things like cleaning, grooming have risen much faster than food prices.
sorry, my post was total sarcasm
