Tuesday, 26 April

Class will continue to explore the connections between employment, wages, and corporate profits.

Students were advised that part of this units summative assessment will include an essay, or other analytical, open ended work.



Class began with reading this analysis from the NYTimes.com
Job Growth Was Fantastic Last Month. So Why Aren’t Wages Rising More?

Then the class looked at The Class of 2016 The labor market is still far from ideal for young graduates published by the Economic Policy Institute (a not for profit Think Tank supported by labor unions and others).

Next, the class moved on to consider Nominal Wage Tracker: Slow wage growth is a key sign of how far the U. S. economy remains from a full recovery


Students should bring their text books to class for the next two weeks.
