Mohamed El-Erian sees evidence of a firming economy (and suspects the Fed might be tempted to raise rates as early as next month). Digging into the data, Mark Whitehouse investigates why increasingly in-demand workers aren’t seeing the pay raises they might expect, while Justin Fox examines the curious uptick in male employment.The Military Debate We NeedAmerica’s armed forces face a grave “readiness crisis,” according to some in the military, and the only cure is more defense spending.
