Wage controls rise for workers earning 275 per hour
The Cost of Living Council exempted workers earning 2.75 dollars an hour or less from wage controls, lifting the ceiling from 1.90. About 56 percent of private nonfarm employees are not under controls, with 43 percent exempt by the new rate. The move, retroactive to July 15, follows a federal judge ruling that the 1.90 ceiling was too low. The council cites potential private sector wage decisions as the inflation impact remains hard to measure. See PAY RULING Page 10.
