The biggest news here is that wage growth is finally starting to pick up. Employers need to pay workers more to retain them - a good sign of the return of mobility to the job market.
In related news, I saw yesterday that health insurers are substantially moderating price increases for next year under ObamaCare plans. Perhaps the individual health care market is finally beginning to stabilize. I still think there is substantially more that the Trump administration can do to get more healthy lives into that market - which is THE key for moderating prices. The silver bullet, IMO, would be to reverse the Obama regulation that prevents employers from giving pre-tax dollars to their employees to purchase insurance in the ACA marketplace.
