Higher benefits costs helped drive the index to its biggest quarterly increase in a year:
So, actual dollars in paychecks weren’t the cause for the increase, it was the fact that the cost of “benefits” (read: basic human rights in every other developed country) went up? It’s an election year, for sure.

Yeah you can tell by way these sorts of articles are worded that the economy is structured such that good things happening to the general public are considered bad news. Isn’t it wonderful?
