Its a good time to be a newly qualified lawyer (at the top of your game); competition for the best new lawyers saw (as previously posted) one 'magic circle' firm raise entry salary to £150k... this has now been followed by another bidding £180k for the best of the current crop of young lawyers.

But I'm sure the BoE will be relaxed about this as rather than money grasping workers looking to inflates their wage, these will be the sons & daughters of many of their chums.

A peine 1/4 des Français se disent "enthousiastes" pour les JO, se lamente Matthieu Croissandeau sur BFM, citant un sondage Elabe pour la chaîne. "On ne fait que bouder notre plaisir", déclare mon confrère, en écho à Macron qui critique "ceux qui ne voient que les problèmes". Envoyé aux étudiants expulsés, aux chômeurs maltraités, aux bénévoles exploités, aux fans de sports effarés par le prix des billets... Les d'ingrats!

Argentinien: Mileis Schocktherapie wirkt - auf den ersten Blick

Im Wahlkampf schwenkte er symbolisch die Kettensäge, im Amt bringt er sie zum Einsatz. Argentiniens Präsident Milei, ein libertärer Ökonom, stutzt die Staatsausgaben. Die Folge: Steigende Armut und tiefe Rezession. Von Anne Herrberg.

Bank of Japan board members turned overwhelmingly hawkish at their April policy meeting, with many calling for the need to raise interest rates steadily to forestall risks of an inflation overshoot, a summary of opinions at the meeting showed. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/09/boj-april-opinions-hawkish/ #business #boj #negativeinterestrates #inflation #japaneseeconomy

Japan’s latest wage figures show that pay gains have now lagged inflation every month for two years, even as a measure of the deeper trend — exclude bonuses and overtime pay — points to steady growth. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/09/economy/japan-march-real-wages-down/ #business #economy #wages #economicindicators #japaneseeconomy #inflation #boj

Dining out has gotten ridiculous. We’ve cut way back, but last night we took our daughter out to dinner… two grilled salmon sandwiches that were mostly bread and an ahi rice bowl that was mostly rice, $96. Add a 20% wage adjustment for our server and we were at $115. Add 3 drinks and we were at $170.

When you're upset at #inflation
first look at record CEO profits, all throughout the pandemic.

Higher costs are NOT related to scarcity.

They are related to #Shrinkflation and #CEOprofits.

#Biden tried to pass legislation to counter rising prices but the #gop blocked it.

If you're really upset at higher prices, make sure to #VoteBlue in November, & remove the #gop who to use high prices as a political tool.

If you don't vote out the gop, you're part of the problem.

If you take the BoE at its word (to be frank I wouldn't) then increases in wages are a significant aspect of the UK's recent inflation problem... countering that many (including me) have noted that workers real wages have yet to regain the level from over a decade ago.

However, that's not all workers: new solicitors have seen their entry-level wages rise by around 50% in the last five years.... now reaching around £150k for 'magic circle' elite law firms...

Its OK for some
