Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:52:57 GMT

Minneapolis (CNN) — When employers deliver a job offer, it had better come with some teeth: Americans’ wage expectations have hit record highs, according to a Federal Reserve Bank of New York survey released Monday.Job seekers’ average reservation wage — the lowest pay they’d be willing to take for a new job — climbed to $78,645 in July 2023, up nearly 8% from July of last year, according to the New York Fed’s latest survey on consumers’ labor market experiences and expectations.The higher wage expectations are a reflection of this current moment in the economy and the labor market, said Julia Pollak, chief economist for online job marketplace ZipRecruiter.“It largely explains what we’ve been seeing during this summer of strikes and unions pushing for higher wages; and, of course, wages follow inflation, and part of the reason that workers are expecting higher wages is because prices have risen 17.5% since the pandemic,” she said.Were it not for the post-pandemic inflation surge, pr...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:52:57 GMT

LONDON — In the high-stakes game of Big Tech deal-making, Microsoft — and not the British antitrust enforcer — blinked first.After enduring a fierce, four-month-long lobbying campaign led by senior Microsoft executives, the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said on Tuesday it had rejected the U.S. tech giant’s plea to revisit its original decision to block a major gaming merger.Instead, Microsoft has submitted a new, restructured takeover of Activision for the British watchdog to review, under which it will sell the rights to stream existing and new Activision PC and console games to rival French game maker Ubisoft. The rights Ubisoft will acquire outside of the European Economic Area will be exclusive.As the CMA’s biggest merger investigation post-Brexit, the case has been seen as a litmus test for the regulator now that Britain is out of the bloc. Before Brexit, the European Commission had jurisdiction over competition merger investigations, meaning if the U.K. was st...
