Workers in these industries had the biggest pay raises over the past year

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:58:37 GMT

Workers have had the advantage over employers in recent years—for the first time in about two decades. The presence of more job openings than unemployed people has meant many businesses have had to offer higher pay, better benefits, and other perks to draw in workers.On average, private sector wages increased 4.3% in the year from March 2022 to March 2023. That wage increase was outpaced by inflation, which rose 5% in that same period, though it is slowing. In April, inflation was slightly lower, at 4.9%.Among the most lucrative fields for workers have been industries that bounced back from the coronavirus pandemic, top among them the travel and energy sectors.International travel in 2022 reached 63% of the level in 2019—the year before the pandemic began—and global tourism is expected to improve even more in 2023, though economic uncertainty could change that projection.As far as energy, restrictions on businesses reduced demand during the pandemic. But demand returned to pre-pande...

Kickin’ It with Kiz: The Broncos hired Dirty Harry to replace Captain Kangaroo as coach

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:58:37 GMT

Captain Kangaroo has left the building and Dirty Harry has arrived at the Broncos Headquarters.— Scott, LittletonKiz: The vibe inside Broncos HQ has changed dramatically, as anyone who has worked with Sean Payton and Nathaniel Hackett can attest. Whenever Payton talks, I hear Bill Parcell’s voice. There’s an old-school, no-guff-allowed edge to his words. Hackett was eager to explain the why of every decision to those under his leadership. The new coach demands that players, staffers and media alike prove why anything should be done one iota differently from how Prickly Payton sees fit.The new Broncos regime has a style that quarterback Russell Wilson wanted to leave in Seattle. But NFL players have mostly liked to play for Sean Payton, right? On the other hand, when the old boss leaves everything a disorganized mess, the new boss always looks like the villain when instilling discipline.— Winston, Great Northwest residentKiz: Pete Carroll was good for a young,...

Oakland A’s GM on historically bad start, if the coaches’ jobs are safe, and the Vegas distraction

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:58:37 GMT

OAKLAND – The Oakland A’s are on pace to lose 131 games — a mark not seen in Major League Baseball since the 19th century.Among big league teams, the A’s, going into Saturday, had the worst ERA, the worst batting average, and one of the worst defenses by fielding percentage. Oh, and the A’s appear to be nearing relocation, leaving the city and the obsolete stadium they’ve called home for the last 55 years.As the general manager of the team with the lowest team payroll in MLB, David Forst might have had modest expectations for his club in 2023. But one-third of the way through a historically bad year, Forst remains at a bit of a loss to explain how it’s all gone off the rails in what is shaping up to be the most dreadful season in the franchise’s 123-year history.“It’s hard to describe how things have gone,” Forst said Saturday at the Coliseum before the A’s played the Houston Astros. “This is not what anybody imagined. It’s frankly hard to explain. It’s a little bi...

CCS softball playoffs: Santa Teresa’s run comes to an end amid flock of foul balls

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:58:37 GMT

SARATOGA – Santa Teresa’s hitters had no issue getting the ball into West Valley College’s seats during Saturday morning’s Central Coast Section Division III title game.Unfortunately for the Saints, the ball was usually flying deep into foul territory before falling into the crowd, with swings either a hair too early or a blink too late to do damage on the scoreboard.Santa Teresa had its chances to pile runs up, but its hitters rarely got the solid contact they needed in the San Jose School’s 5-2 loss to Everett Alvarez.“What we normally do with our bats, well that didn’t happen today,” Santa Teresa coach Michaela Motch said.After the teams exchanged three-up, three-down first innings, Everett Alvarez’s hitters got to work in the top of the second.Two walks and a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases for the Eagles, and a Shanae Figueroa hit drove in two runs. Pitcher Dani Amendola helped her own cause by singling in another.Santa Teresa’s Mariah Avalos started the bottom of the secon...
