US sees increase in wages beating inflation as hiring rises in key industries

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:58:04 GMT

New economic data shows that wages are finally beating inflation in the U.S. Employers are both adding jobs and increasing paychecks, leading to a brighter picture of the U.S. labor market. According to the latest report from the Labor Department, workers’ paychecks grew by 16 cents to an average of $33.36 per hour in April, marking the biggest monthly increase since March 2022.Industries struggling to hire workers, such as construction, transportation, and wholesale, are offering fatter paychecks to attract qualified candidates. Meanwhile, employees in the leisure and hospitality sector, including bars, restaurants, and hotels, are also seeing strong wage gains. This sector was hit hardest by the pandemic and the recession fears that followed, causing many service workers to be reluctant to return to the industry.Experts suggest that the increase in hiring and paychecks will lead to an improvement in the cost of living crisis that many households have been facing over the pas...

Downbeat Putin slams West at low-key Victory Day parade in Russia

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:58:04 GMT

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday delivered a morose speech in Moscow’s Red Square that lasted barely 10 minutes, during which he doubled down on his justification for the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. “A real war has once again been unleashed on our motherland,” he said in the speech during annual celebrations marking Russia’s World War II victory. “Western elites talk about their exceptionalism, dividing people and provoking bloody conflicts, sowing hatred, Russophobia and aggressive nationalism, destroying traditional family values.”For nearly eight decades, Moscow’s annual Victory Day parade has been not just a memorial to the 27 million Soviet citizens who died fighting Nazi Germany in World War II, but also a carefully curated show of Russia’s strength.This year, however, May 9 celebrations across the country were canceled or cut short, and the usual procession of uniformed troops and heavy weaponry in the capital appeared a shadow of wh...

Cooler Breezes

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:58:04 GMT

3 days in a row make a weather winning streak, as we certainly had another beautiful day yesterday with temps running in the mid 70s for most as sunshine won out. Today, while it won’t be nearly as warm, it’ll still be a solid day overall under a mix of clouds and sunshine. The temp difference is noticeable right off the bat this morning though, with early morning temps near 40 for many. Light winds turn onshore today, keeping it chilly (mid to upper 50s) along the coast while we warm into the mid 60s inland. We’ll cool quickly this evening too as temps drop back into the 30s tonight for many. After a cool start tomorrow, a beautiful afternoon settles in as highs jump into the lower 70s. We’ll push the numbers up to near 80 Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Friday offers the best chance for a few isolated to scattered thunderstorms midday/afternoon. Mother’s Day weekend does look dry, with Mother’s Day being a bit cooler, but still nice as highs run ...
