Wages up 4.5% in 2006.

[zcf]

This is a rubbish statistic
Every year people's wages go up because of yearly increment.

It's just a feel good piece by news agencies.

Sometime I feel like there are just too many "feel good news" on the newspaper or news, instead of an objective view. It has become like advertisements :sweat:

strange... so many people no pay increase...

so i think must be only a small group of people have extremely high increase to offset the majority then... hmm...

But you always give yourself pay rise what.

We live on hopes.

Without hopes it isn't worth getting up in the morning.

When good news come out, no one believes; when bad news come out, everyone believes

When good news come out, no one believes; when bad news come out, everyone believes

Maybe you should set up a new poll asking:

"Do you believe in good news or bad news?"

And when the market is bearish jobless rate get higher they begin to blame everyone but they forgot it is they ask for it when the market is on a bull run! When the bear comes along they start to *^&%#*@* Just dun understand what they really want?

What about those high calibre elite lightning people?

I get 0%... no annual increments for 2 years as well.
I must be "extra"ordinary or less than ordinary.

SINGAPORE: The manufacturing economy continued its rebound last month.

In numbers out on Tuesday, the Singapore Purchasing Managers' Index for June came in at 52.3 – an increase of 2.3 points over the previous month.

A reading above 50 indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding.

It is the second straight month that the index is trending higher.

According to the Singapore Institute of Purchasing and Materials Management, the rise was due to higher new orders and export orders.

Higher levels of production output and inventory also helped to push up the index.

Meanwhile the corresponding index for the electronics sector also registered an increase of 2 points.

This is the 11th straight month of expansion for the sector.

Growth in the electronics sector was driven by increases in new orders from both domestic and overseas markets.
