The truth of course is somewhat less than the headline. It's +47% over four years, and more importantly, starting pay today is effectively $10/hr less than what it was in 2007. This isn't so much a raise, as it is 20 year past due cost of living adjustment.
As far as the 32 hour per week, why not? Worker productivity has risen, it's about time we start getting that John Maynard Keynes promised 15 hours week.
