WASHINGTON -
Wages and benefits paid to civilian workers rose last year by the
smallest amount in nine years, the government reported Tuesday.
The Labor Department said that employee compensation was up 3.1
percent in 2005, an increase that was slower than the 3.7 percent rise
in 2004.

Wages of most workers fell last year. Some would say this is due to
the rising costs of employer-provided health care, yet nearly half the
workforce lack this benefit.
