Today in the Morning News: Wages are rising as fast as prices last year, new ministers have little confidence, social media analyst and foreign affairs commentator Bernard Hammelburg notes that Joe Biden’s political boycott of China is a hot potato for Europe.
Wages are rising at the same rate as last year’s prices. On average, employers increase our salaries by 2.5 percent. This can be seen from the analysis of Van Spaendonck’s payroll processor at the request of BNR.

column | For Europe, Joe Biden’s political boycott a month ago of the Winter Olympics in China is proving very hot.
