Economic Woes
Is your salary stagnant? Are you losing ground each year? You're not alone.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall wage growth, when you include inflation, for the past four years was:
2000 .46 percent
2001 .42 percent
2002 1.52 percent
2003 -.59 percent
2004 -.31 percent
And that doesn't take into account increased health insurance and gas prices. Meanwhile, corporate profits have increased almost every quarter since 2001.
One more note to further uplift your spirit. The only three sectors to increase jobs since 2000 are government employees, health care and social assistance and food service/drinking places. No doubt these sobering stats will only fuel demand at drinking places. That should boost my chance of getting a part-time job to help pay my bills.
Cheers.

Listen, you babies, Instead of cutting and pasting statistics and illegible diatribes, why don't you get up off your asses and start looking for a candidate to support so you can take back the town from that moron Chris Rants. This little jizz nose is vulnerable and you have 15 months to put it together. Jees. Are you friggin stupid?
