For most, wages fall behind inflation

"Pay is low, productivity is high, there still aren't enough jobs, and wages are losing ground to prices. Happy Labor Day."

Kinda foa good article to read. Lost of changes are happening within many industries and employers to cut costs and this goes over some of them. Insurance and overall beneifts are a big one. I know our work is changing benefits again, and one of the big ones is putting in higher rates for smokers and discounted rates for non smokers. The way I see it, I can't afford not to quit.
