Productivity gains will offset some of the wage rises, so that a 5% pay boost would not mean a 5% increase in the unit labor costs that companies must pay. Also, workers would have limits placed on their pay raises, but companies would have no limits on their profit increases, which should rise high in a period of business recovery...

We hope to avoid the slanted columns and chopped-off letters of most offset college papers by maintaining a professional shop to do our paste-up, but if, like our Fogg friend, you've noticed some problems, please bear with...
