Workers saw 2 percent rise in wages and benefits - Yahoo! Finance
I was surprised to see that workers got raises. Literally every working person I know got cuts, paying more of their healthcare, losing matching retirement funds, cutting hours, and cutting pay.
I was also surprised to find that a 2% increase was a disappointment.

Wages and benefits increased 2 percent last year after a 1.4 percent increase in 2009, the Labor Department reported Friday. Both years were the smallest gains on Labor Department records that go back 28 years.
