Marketwatch brings good news for the USA: American workers are finally reaping the benefits of the lowest unemployment rate and best jobs market in decades: Wages and benefits are rising at the fastest pace in a decade. Firms have sought to fill openings by offering better benefits such as more vacation time or flexible hours. When push comes to shove, they are offering higher pay. While bigger paychecks are great for workers, the US Federal Reserve is watching closely to see if rising compensation is stoking inflation. The Federal Reserve could increase U.S. interest rates if it becomes a big worry, but so far inflation remains relatively mild.

First article you mention sounds like an opinion piece as opposed to a "this is what the numbers are doing right now" piece. Opinion pieces regarding the economy should be taken with an 18 wheeler worth of salt. Especially from someone who's not filthy rich.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
