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.

What I find really interesting about the whole subject is how some people can just play it by ear and be right significantly more often than not. It's not independently reproducible but after a certain percentage of reliability you can't discount it either. Funny thing, the human brain. It can catch a baseball without remotely stressing itself but then it goes and chooses to watch reality television.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
