Japanese companies implement largest wage increase in over three decades
Japanese firms have agreed to an average wage increase of over 5%, the largest in 34 years, amid rising living costs and labor shortages. While major companies like Hitachi have met union demands, concerns remain about whether this will significantly boost consumer spending, especially among smaller firms. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba emphasized the need for higher pay, particularly for truckers, as negotiations continue into the spring.

Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
