The Upshot
This Was to Be the Year of Bigger Wage Gains. It’s Not.
Shadow workers, people who are sort of but not really in the labor force, may be holding wage growth back.Cheap skilled workers are in short supply.
Skilled workers insist on being paid.

Operating a motor vehicle while stoned is not legal or safe.
