Wages declining for Ohio workers
Study: Wages declining for Ohio workers

"The fact that we've actually seen declining median wages for the last four years is really alarming," said Amy Hanauer, the organization's executive director and an author of the report. "It used to be that compensation rose with productivity gains. That is no longer the case. Productivity is rising much faster and going to executives and profits rather than to workers."

This at a time when funds for the poor aren't being disbursed:


Money intended to help Ohio's poor sits in huge surplus
<...>
More than half of the money -- $599 million -- is listed as "unobligated," meaning the state has no specific plans to spend it to help poor Ohio families.

and some $200 million went unaccounted for at the Bureau Of Worker's compensation.

What gross mismanagement by the repukes, it is appaling.
