DENVER (KDVR) -- The Great Resignation gave workers great pay bumps, but even Coloradans who stayed in their jobs have managed sizable wage gains in the last three years. Labor economics analysts at ADP Research Insights released their March 2023 report on worker pay, using data from 10 million workers who have stayed in their current job or left for new ones. Nationally, those workers who stayed in their jobs made 6.9% more this March than a year ago. Retirees are fleeing Colorado, but one city still attracts them In Colorado, the pay for those employees who remained at their jobs rose even more.

EU plan to buy Ukraine shells hits legal snag over who gets the money

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:25:58 GMT

BRUSSELS — The devil is now in the (legal) details. Two weeks after the EU announced a historic agreement to give Ukraine piles of ammunition, the bloc is still sorting out the legal specifics of how to actually implement it.The squabble has stalled a first-of-its-kind plan to jointly buy ammunition for Ukraine. EU ambassadors met Wednesday to discuss the issue but were unable to make significant progress on one of the key issues, according to several diplomats with knowledge of the negotiations. The bone of contention remains whether these arms contracts will go exclusively to EU companies (and how to legally define them), or also be open to outside manufacturers. France is pushing for the money to stay within EU borders, several diplomats said. And Greece and Cyprus back Paris in a move that some of the diplomats said is linked to their desire to avoid contracts going to Turkish manufacturers. Two diplomats added that the European Commission, the EU’s executive, also ne...

The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds tried to wait out the stormy weather to conclude their three-game series Wednesday.Instead, after a 1-hour, 43-minute rain delay before a pitch was thrown, the series finale was postponed.The game was rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader September 1 at Great American Ball Park. Both games, scheduled to start at 12:10 p.m. and 5:40 p.m., respectively, will be nine innings.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:25:58 GMT

Eloy Jiménez went from first to third on Andrew Vaughn’s double to right field in the seventh inning Monday.The Chicago White Sox outfielder/designated hitter suffered a low-grade left hamstring strain during that sequence. He was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Tuesday, and will miss an estimated two-to-three weeks.“I didn’t really notice anything, I don’t think anybody did until next time at-bat,” Sox manager Pedro Grifol said before Wednesday’s game against the San Francisco Giants at Guaranteed Rate Field.“He had mentioned that he felt a little something in his hamstring and that he could take his at-bat and that he might need a pinch-runner, and then at that point in time, there was just no use taking any chances so we erred on the side of caution.”When healthy, Jiménez is one of the more dangerous hitters in the American League. But he played 84 games last season after spending more than two months on ...

MILWAUKEE — Eduardo Escobar received another day off as the Mets searched for ways to jumpstart their third baseman.Escobar spent time talking to manager Buck Showalter in his office at American Family Field ahead of the Mets’ series finale with the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday morning, along with infield coach Joey Cora, and while the contents of the meeting were not disclosed, Showalter did voice his confidence in the 34-year-old Venezuelan that played such an important role for the Mets last summer.“We’re just trying to put our best foot forward today in the idea that it might make us better in the long run,” Showalter said. “And him, individually.”Showalter has always liked Escobar and it’s tough to not like him. He’s effusively positive and he’s a well-liked teammate in the clubhouse. But Brett Baty outplayed him in spring training and his offensive struggles over the first week of the 2023 season have been magnified...

Putin: West helped Ukraine mount acts of sabotage

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:25:58 GMT

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin charged Wednesday that Western intelligence agencies have helped Ukraine carry out acts of sabotage, as he urged his officials to mount a stronger response. Putin spoke during a call with members of his Security Council that focused on efforts to shore up control of the four Ukrainian provinces that Russia claimed as part of its territory in September — a move that most of the world rejected as an illegal annexation.“There are reasons to believe that the capabilities of third countries, Western special services, have been involved in preparation of acts of sabotage and terror attacks,” Putin said, without elaborating and without providing any evidence.He said the four provinces have experienced Ukrainian shelling and acts of sabotage aimed at scaring the local population, and that Russian authorities must act “harshly and effectively to ensure control over the situation.”Several Moscow-appointed officials in the newly incorporated provi...
