Do you want a job, or higher pay?

Nick’s take Do you want a job, or higher pay? Because the U.S. Department of Labor says you can’t have both. News articles focus on big growth in new jobs but then can’t explain essentially flat pay in a market with high demand for labor. Meanwhile, companies are spending less and pocketing more: “compensation in private industry rose 3 percent in 2018, and only 2.7 percent in the 12 months ended in September.” Nothing’s changed. (See B.S. on the jobs numbers.) What’s your take? Are you making more money? How much does your CEO make as a ratio compared to you?

In IT, you *can* have both. Note for all the kids out there that want to get into the field.
