More Americans Are Finally Seeing Something New A Pay Raise
Employers have added 3.2 million jobs over the 12 months — including 257,000 in January, 329,000 in December and a sizzling 423,000 in November.
Job listings on Indeed.com, for example, show stronger demand for truckers, health care professionals and technology workers, all of which points to higher wages, said Tara Sinclair, chief economist at Indeed.com and a professor at George Washington University.
Ford Motor Co. has announced that up to 500 of its lowest-paid factory workers will receive a 48 percent pay raise to $28.50 an hour. Only 20 percent of its employees can be in the lowest tier, so Ford had to raise wages to hire 1,550 workers to make pickup trucks in Missouri and Michigan. Other major companies, including Aetna and the Gap, have also announced pay increases.
Some smaller firms are enjoying a level of growth that has begun to deliver year-end bonuses and raises

Here's a look at the jobs added or lost in each major industry category:

If this keeps up, Republicans will only have foreign policy to run on the next election. And many of the world's problems were started by, get this, "Republicans". America hasn't forgotten.
