Above Quotes
Yet there is no doubt of our nation's strength. This is a tribute above all to the American worker and entrepreneur ... productivity in the past four quarters has been very impressive. Higher productivity, of course, leads to wage increases and even greater investment and even more jobs down the line,

Against Quotes
The passage of workers' compensation reform in 2004 was a critical step forward for small businesses in California and helped produce and preserve thousands of jobs in our state. The ballot initiatives would eviscerate those reforms, resulting in massive increases in worker's compensation costs, and send our economy into a tailspin. We will rally California's entire business community to preserve the reforms and will wage a vigorous campaign against these job killer initiatives.

Believe Quotes
When you look at the fact that real wage gains are very much in line with productivity, I do not believe that we have inflationary pressures on the economy, ... As long as we can continue to see that picture in the future, then I think we should not be extraordinarily concerned about inflationary pressures.

Alter Quotes
What's holding up the consumer is habit. Until things change in a very material manner, American consumers won't alter their shopping habits significantly. The jobs market is strong and there's been a little bit of improvement in wage growth. I still don't believe that gas prices are high enough to derail consumers. If there is one thing that could shake consumers it's the housing market and not gas inflation.

Activity Quotes
This welcome announcement couldn't come too soon for all of Umatilla County, and our state in general. As we saw during the March fourth town hall on methamphetamine I hosted in Pendleton, Umatilla County has been put through the ringer in terms of drug manufacturing and trafficking, and this wave of activity crashes well beyond the County's borders. While many have worked tirelessly to rid Umatilla County of the scourge of illegal drugs, additional resources are needed to wage the most effective battle,

Available Quotes
Throughout these negotiations, we've been hearing from employees and their union representatives that ... they would prefer that we spend available money on retirement programs, incentives and lump sum cash payments rather than offering wage increases. With this offer, we are responding to that input.

Absolutely Quotes
You judge military threat in two ways. There're lots of countries in the world that have the capacity to wage war. Very few have the intent to do so. And clearly, we have a complex but good relationship with China. So there's absolutely no reason for us to believe there's any intent on their part.

Accept Quotes
The stock is up slightly today as the uncertainty of strike is lifted from the company. United really had no choice but to accept the PEB findings. They couldn't survive a month with a strike. But guaranteeing 37 percent wage hikes is only going to weaken a company that is already weak.
-
Ability Quotes
These low health insurance rates and the persistent wage gap limit women's ability to move out of poverty. Women continue to sacrifice almost a quarter of their earning power every year to gender inequalities in the labor market. We need strong legal protections against discrimination and public policies that reduce poverty, increase wages, and extend health benefits to the uninsured.
-
Agreement Quotes
The signing of the addendum to the MoU addresses the valid concerns of the labour movement and speaks to the resilience of the original agreement and reinforces the fact that social partnership and dialogue is possible, orderly and mutually beneficial. Indeed, members of the union movement have signalled that while a new MoU would not include a wage freeze, there are several critical matters which are better dealt with in the spirit of partnership benefiting from research not rumour, candour not deception.

Advance Quotes
The threat of a Fed policy firming on Nov. 16 will continue to weigh on the markets, despite the weak payroll figures reported in this morning's employment report. The sharp advance (in wage growth) will, nevertheless, worry Fed policy makers who are already concerned about the tightness in the labor market.

Earn Quotes
I wanted to earn a living wage and to see something nice about me in the 'New York Times.' I wanted my mother to be proud. I wanted all the things you want and also feel silly for wanting. I wanted readers to say they'd enjoyed something of mine - to see my photo in magazines where I'd seen photos of other writers.

Adapt Quotes
Rather than creating conditions that allow American workers to fill jobs at higher wages, what the president is proposing merely converts low wage illegal aliens into low wage workers with visas. Our economy would have to adapt if the influx of cheap foreign labor is ended, but that is an adjustment strongly desired by a majority of Americans, whether native-born or foreign-born. The concept that our economy must be served by a permanent under-class of foreign guest workers is reprehensible and unacceptable.

Across Quotes
Raising the minimum wage to $10.10 will benefit about 28 million workers across the country. And it will help businesses, too - raising the wage will put more money in people's pockets, which they will pump back into the economy by spending it on goods and services in their communities.

Ability Quotes
People at the upper end of the income distribution have done very well and continue to do well. People in the middle are growing, but they're not growing all that much. Wage increases have been muted and that certainly affects people in the middle and at the bottom. Add in rising energy costs and those people are really being constrained right at the moment in their ability to go out and purchase items and that's certainly affecting the sales tax.

Alienate Quotes
Northwest has to be careful not to overreach and push the various employee groups over the edge. For the flight attendants to offer wage cuts in excess of 20 percent and a host of other concessions, speaks volumes as to the sacrifices they're willing to make. Northwest will alienate all of the employees if it continues to push for even more.

Based Quotes
Normally, economists downplay periodic swings in energy prices. However, the most recent run-up is a source of concern because it may be raising inflation expectations. Workers do not live in a world that excludes food and energy prices. Wage demands, especially in the current tight labor market, will be based on the increase in the overall CPI.

Allow Quotes
The most important thing that the city can do is encourage growth that provides good wages for folks. I very much would like to see a living wage for people at Western State. This was addressed at the University of Virginia recently. They did it for the same reasons - to allow people to have a stake in their community.

Average Quotes
And that's the average worker. The reality is that while every commuter is experiencing a financial hardship with increases in gas prices, those individuals earning the minimum wage of $5.15 per hour are being the hardest hit, with a whopping 11.3% of their salary being pumped into their gas tank annually.
