Auto industrija cijelog svijeta se smanjuje. Osim Američkih i svi ostali imaju problema sa rezanjem svega što mogu jer im se tržište smanjuje.

Kako se prilagoditi smanjenom tržištu? Pa s manjim autima… logično… Smart je jedan simpa auto, mogli bi se i drugi ugledati na Smarta.

CNBC is reporting Nevada Governor: No Raises For State Workers

Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons says he won’t propose any step or cost-of-living pay increases for public school teachers or state employees because of an expected drop in revenues in the next two fiscal years.

"These are tough times," Gibbons said Tuesday. "We worked to get everyone a 6 percent pay increase this biennium when a lot of companies in the private sector did not give employees any increases in salaries."

The governor said "step-in-grade" pay increases that many state employees and teachers now get can add 4 percent to 5 percent to their pay each year.

Čuj Američane… puno im je 6%… hehe… tak im i treba kad nemaju sindikate i ne predstoje im izbori… Viva Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Sun is reporting Raiding step pay raises could turn costly.
If Gov. Jim Gibbons succeeds in suspending step raises for state employees and teachers, it would be the first time in at least 45 years that the state has not paid the built-in salary increases.

The annual pay raises, which average 4.5 percent, are typically granted during state workers’ first 10 years of employment. Doing away with the step increases and cost-of-living raises would save the state about $160 million over the biennium, said Andrew Clinger, the governor’s budget director.

Uskoro i ostatak ekipe

Expect other states, especially California to be forced to implement similar ideas. State budgets simply have to be balanced and doing away with the step increases and cost-of-living raises will help.

Those who get that projected 3 percent raise will find that it will beat the CPI easily. This will be the first real wage increase for a long time, assuming of course, one has a job.

Deflation is intensifying. People are going to be frightened by it.
