        LOL, no, rising wages is what an economy at full tilt looks like.

        Oh no, I read the article just fine. I'm commenting on the tweet. The bonus money and $8/hr is not a sign of the economy at full tilt. But of course the WSJ thinks so, lest they call attention to the fact that the real driver of their recovery as a town is in its wages.

        That’s 10% above the minimum wage. Plus a signing bonus. For a job at KFC. And even at that, they’re having a hard time keeping staff from going to higher paying jobs. That’s a sign of an economy that’s doing pretty okay.

        Not to mention, the article also cited strong wage growth (6.3%) compared to the national average (-0.5%). But you definitely read the article.

        So I’m not sure what you’re arguing then. The article confirms exactly what you’re saying it doesn’t.

        Oh, you so deserve to be ratioed for this tweet, WSJ. This is *NOT* what an economy at full tilt looks like *at all*. A functional economy & tight labour market produce *rising wages*, not short-term bait & switch tactics predicated on assumed job insecurity.

        $150???!!! Wow!!!! So generous. That's enough to make anyone in Elkhart give up aspirations for any kind of better life.

        "A McDonald’s failed to open for lunch last fall because managers couldn’t corral enough hands at $8 an hour to serve the lines waiting at the door." $8 an hour? The economy will be booming when McDonald's starts paying far more than $8 an hour.
