Or so says the Human Resource Association of the National Capital Area, which is the source for this Washington Business Journal story proclaiming it to be so. Considering how many people we talk to who say that they, due to the recession, didn't get raises this year, the 3.4 percent number just kinda feels slightly high, doesn't it? Oh wait, that explains it:
The financial services industry saw the highest salary increases at 9.3 percent. Publishing and broadcasting jobs saw the lowest raises, at 1.5 percent.Raise your hand if you went into the wrong profession!The median federal government employee increase was 4.2 percent in 2009.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the idiots in the financial sector the ones who got us into this economic mess we're knee deep in right now? Why do they deserve a raise that's triple what most people will get? Jee and people think federal employees are over-paid... and yet we're having our pay raise CAPPED at 2%--thanks a lot Mr. Obama! *grumbles*
Nobody I know, including myself, got raises at all this year. Fuck you, financial services industry.
Have fun managing your 401(k) by yourself - I'm sure your a pro. While doing that I hope you enjoy working at Walmart until your 95 because you haven’t accumulated any retirement money.
Don't worry, pro, I wouldn't trust my 401(k) to some financial genius who doesn't know the difference between your and you're anyway. Sounds like your the one who works at Walmart. I'm betting your a greeter.
