A new poll finds workers are getting raises and new jobs, but many are still behind financially.

Donna Dunn, 49, works as the office manager at a healthcare clinic in Booker, Texas. Despite getting a raise, she has struggled to pay her family's bills as prices have risen faster than her paycheck.Donna Dunn, 49, works as the office manager at a healthcare clinic in Booker, Texas.

Dynamism can be defined as change, advancement and a restless entrepreneurial spirit, said Heidi Shierholz, president of the Economic Policy Institute. So, just six months into one new job, Perta started looking for a new, new job. Pretty quickly, she got one at a large financial institution that came with a raise. Now, Perta feels happy and challenged, and she's getting paid more.The NPR Marist poll also found that 61% of U,S, workers have gotten a raise in the last year. But that doesn't necessarily mean all people's financial situations have gotten better.

This was not surprising to Dunn, who has has five kids, a tight budget and has developed an encyclopedic knowledge of food prices.

That’s because companies like Target allows their vendors to fire people with disabilities because their disability was laughed at by another vendor

Capitalism cannot sustain

Those workers need to stop overspending their wages on Amazon and new cars.

No matter what, this will always be the case. Many people are irresponsible. Law cannot change this.

Impossible! The regime says this are going great!

That’s when you have to control your spending.

I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Derrick_wright3 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with him

And corporations are still making record profit margins.

I bet that is her password written on that sticky note stuck to her monitor..

As she sits there with a new iPhone 14🤡

Yes, I can't afford my electric bill. I've asked for help, and it just keeps growing and growing. I live in AZ, so not going to be in a house without the air on, for at least another 3-4 weeks. Sheesh. Can't keep up. (and I live super minimally!)

It’s only going to get worse. That’s capitalism baby! Workers of the world unite, y’all ain’t got nothin to lose but your chains bros.

Prices will go down. Your new salary will only go up. What would be nice would be more articles talking about all the companies and food congloms that have been raising price well higher than supply chain issues would have. BusinessInsider had a good article on that last month.

It’s called inflation. Most wages are not keeping up with inflation.

Biden’s Rogue Regime did that. The strange force now running the USA has destroyed society, economy, safety, and declared war on Americans , Democrat and Republican and in between. ————- No one can deny we were better off underTrump

To give you an idea none of the pandemic stuff we had in the shutdown was funded by taxes that was all by the printing press this is on top of the fact that 3tril of the 6.5 of average spending every year is funded by the printer.

Because the USD M1 was 4000 in 2019 . it's 21000 in Jan 2022 they have printed the USD to worthlessness and continue to do so with these new programs that don't have funding attached.

These very companies that are giving them the jobs are the very companies increasing on the products being sold. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Polls? The same one the said trump was going to lose the first time around? That poll? The one you can manipulate depending when and who it targets?

Raises/pay can't keep up with all the challenges we've experienced in recent years. Inflation is only one element.

This is false. We are forced to accept bad jobs while being exploited. With zero incentive our economy is no better than communism. If you cannot pay a mortgage you don't have a job. It's called something else.

Is this an Onion headline?

Thanks democrats! Your Covid crap killer our economy and jobs and income

Is this the line to blame people who don’t think like I do?

Probably because the tiny raise I just got was the first in 15 years.

Duh. How’d you figure that out? It’s what happens when inflation increases faster than wages.

Funny how that works 🤔🤔🤔

I've applied to 40+ positions in less than 2 months. Heard absolutely nada and I have 20yrs experience. Things are not as good as they say they are.

Yea because everything had gone up
