2004 Salaries
The Conference Board reports that a prevailing sense of caution in the business community has resulted in salary increase budgets across America remaining virtually the same as last year. For all industries as a group, actual 2004 salary budgets are averaging 3.5 percent, virtually identical to last year's projections. This was true for all three employee groups: nonexempt, exempt, and executive. For all but one of the individual industry groups, actual 2004 budgets were equal to, or slightly less than, projected. The exception was the insurance industry, which had forecasted 4 percent for all employee groups. The actual 2004 budgets fell markedly below this (between 3.5 percent and 3.7 percent). This year is the second time in 11 years (the first time was last year) that median increases have fallen significantly below 4 percent.
If It's In the World, It's In the Workplace
The Project on Global Working Families, a research unit at the Harvard School of Public Health, finds that the United States lags the world in providing paid time off for illness, maternity leave, vacations, and other benefits that are critical for working families. The Harvard study found the United States falls behind Europe in mandating benefits and that at least 37 countries have policies specifying paid leave for parents of sick children, including France, Germany, Hungary, El Salvador, Vietnam, and South Africa. Congress in 1993 passed the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), requiring employers to give workers up to 12 weeks of unpaid time off for family illness or maternity leave. Many consider the FMLA not enough because it does not provide paid time and it can be used only for severe illness.
