The Swiss Minimum Wage Initiative for $25 an hour in 2014
05/16/2014
The proposal to set the minimum wage at $25 was rejected by 70% of Swiss voters in May 2014. The Swiss Trade Union Federation says about 90% of Swiss workers already make over $25 an hour. Voters were concerned that the minimum wage set by the initiative would affect the Swiss apprentice system.

The expectations for inflation in 2014-2016 and U.S. Federal Reserve chairwoman Yellen's response
05/12/2014
Bernanke pointed to low inflation below the Fed's 2% target during the period of quantitative easing policies in 2010-2013. Higher prices of medical care, housing and import prices are expected in the rest of 2014. Analysts say this will taper off and inflation expectations are still much below 2% for 2014, especially as large number of part time workers keeps wage growth at a low level, and is likely to do so for a considerable period probably into 2015. Higher energy and food costs are not included in the core index for inflation the Fed looks at.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
