新的一年會不會爆出更大規(guī)模的監(jiān)控丑聞?蘋果會不會推出堪與iPod、iPhone、iPad比肩的重磅新產(chǎn)品?北極資源爭奪戰(zhàn)會不會擦槍走火?電動汽車會不會大流行?比特幣能否進(jìn)入主流?……新年到來之際,《財富》預(yù)測了2014年可能會發(fā)生的重大事件。
????聯(lián)邦最低工資將上漲39% ????20年前,最低生活工資(Living Wage)運(yùn)動在巴爾的摩爆發(fā),許多擁有全職工作的居民紛紛涌入當(dāng)?shù)氐臒o家可歸者收容所。2014年,這場運(yùn)動再起波瀾,公眾開始強(qiáng)烈呼吁政府大幅提升最低工資標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。一些州已經(jīng)開始采取行動(見即將出現(xiàn)的分布圖)。聯(lián)邦最低時薪工資從目前7.25美元提高至10.10美元的概率為:48%。 |
????The federal minimum wage will rise 39% ????Two decades after the Living Wage movement began in Baltimore (when local homeless shelters began filling with residents who had full-time jobs), popular support for a hefty increase in the minimum wage resurges. States are already taking action (see upcoming map). Odds that the federal minimum wage is increased to $10.10/hour, from the current $7.25: 48%. |
