U.S. private-sector workers received the biggest pay raise in 11 years in the first three months of the year, a sign that the tight job market is slowly lifting wages.
The Labor Department says wages and salaries in the private sector rose 1 percent in the January-March quarter, compared with the previous quarter. That's the biggest gain since the first quarter of 2007, before the Great Recession began.
The gain was boosted partly by healthy year-end commissions that are typically paid to sales workers at the beginning of the year. In the past year, wages for private sector workers rose 2.9 percent, the healthiest increase since the third quarter of 2008.

Pay raises and tax cuts.
Sounds like Winning!
Don't tell me that Jobs are on Fire. I haven't seen this since the early 70s.
Way to go Trump and the Tax Cuts!
STILL not sick of the winning.
When will black Americans realize they have been bamboozled?.................SOON.................Think RED STATE California..............
Let’s hope retirees get a decent cost-of-living adjustment this year. Obama’s false no-inflation statements darn near finished me off.
No doubt that the wun regrets not finishing off the vast majority of people.
Liberals plan to run on stopping and overturning all President Trump’s MAGA like this awesome news? Really? Their Blue Wave to hell, ya think?
More than just tax cuts. He is putting businesses on-notice that the old ways of moving work offshore and/or bringing in low-wage foreign workers will no longer be pain-free for business.
Boosting wages here in the US; Making America Great Again!
“Liberals plan to run on stopping and overturning all President Trump’s MAGA like this awesome news?”
To real liberals, the economy and general health of the country are irrelevant. They only care about things like global warming, and would be much happier to shut our economy down and reduce our standard of living to third world status, and to punish whites for not only creating civilization but for being the first culture in the world to end slavery.
So, the economy going bazonkazoids is actually counter to their goals. The question is whether there is enough of us to both counter their votes, and their fraud machine
Thanks Obama!
