This is the slowest recovery in the post-World War II era.

You wouldn’t know it in booming Seattle. Cranes are poking up all over the skyline and the May unemployment rate for Seattle-Bellevue-Everett was a healthy 5?percent.

There is a lot of lobbying going on because, of course, employers don't want to pay more and are doing all they can to make it look like a bad thing. Of course there are glitches here and there as it gets sorted out, but overall, it's working just fine.
