The wage inflation will prompt the FED to raise rates to dampen the economy and the threat of general inflation.

Just because wages went up a few percentage points, does not automatically turn into inflation. Remember the tax cuts? Businesses can absorb the increase in labor and still reflect more bottom line profit than before the Trump tax reductions.

“Wages and salaries jump by 3.1%, highest level in a decade
Employers demand more immigration and guest workers.”

Billionaire globalists that own the Democratic Party hurt most...

"On a yearly basis, wages and salaries jumped 3.1 percent, the biggest increase in 10 years."

Be nice if we legal, law abiding Americans in the home improvement industry could get a little piece of that.

Our wages have been depressed 50% over the last ten years by illegals in the trades, and nothing's changed since Trump was elected.

Still these are not real wage hikes, as in not adjusted for inflation?

Are your rates higher than non union?
How about your benefits?

I hope that's just a poor attempt at humor.

My wife and I have been in business (doing one exclusive trade) for over twenty years. My kids have grown up in the business, and have been our employees for many years.

This thing is our life blood, and we're far too invested in it to fundamentally change our business model now.
