Jason Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Are the jobs reports still beating expectations because that Trump appointee is still lowballing the outlook every time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uaarkson Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 For the record, that infrastructure bill is probably helping a bit with the employment numbers at this point. I've seen more roadwork in the past 6 months than I've seen in the previous 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too. Alot of people at my job looking to cancel, downgrade, and declining upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxmatt Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I got an out-of-cycle 10% raise at work yesterday, so I'm pretty stoked on that. Have my 10 year review coming up in September too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have my 10 year review coming up in September too. My union extended our contract. We get like a 4% raise next year and WFH is perminant. I want to run the numbers to make sure it's actually a raise but laziness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 My wife just got an offer outside of teaching and education as a data analyst. Along with a nice healthy raise it will be full time WFH! so we will be officially selling her car and only have the van. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 My employer (school division funded by taxes) has a salary grid with concrete steps, so we can't really get special raises. However, our department is overdue for a salary review, so hopefully we get that next year. This month I get my annual 3.6% raise as part of the grid, and in September I will also get a 2.0% raise as part of the teacher contract (division matches the teachers union for us in IT). So overall that's a compounded 5.7% raise this year, which at least roughly covers inflation. The only reason I'm not too upset is my 33% raise from two years ago moving into this position, and that my positions massively overpays for the work responsible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinSolo Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I switched employers same job, make 66% more than i did 2 years ago, do i win? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominous Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 It's because everyone is high on the hog from a few grand they got 2 years ago and are out of the labor market. The real number is like 85% according to the ghost of Rush Limbaugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I have a couple of interviews lined up that will increase by base pay by 50-65%. It’s pretty crazy how much everyone is offering out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
