A labor union wants the union members' real wages to go up by 3.5% for the coming year. How much of an increase in wages should the union ask for, given that the inflation rate is expected to be 6.1% for the coming year?

6.1%

Explanation:

As per my knowledge, real wages and the inflation rate goes hand to hand, so if the inflation rate is expected to increase to 6.1% in the coming year, then I thing the labor union would also want the real wages to go up by 6.1% for the labor union members to offset the difference between the two and meet the demands for the members.

Thank you and Good luck.

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
