This article outlines the current state of the economy and how the expected take off of 2014 didn't exactly happen. Instead, there was only a growth of 113,000 jobs in January, though the unemployment rate lowered to 6.6% and the hourly wage rose by five cents. There was a lot of hope for the new year, with the federal budget deal. The article discusses the current economic outlook as well as potential causes and solutions that can be taken.
The economy can't improve as long as wages are stagnant. It's a vicious cycle that businesses are intent on pursuing by keeping money from reaching their employees' paychecks.
