Why do you think wages aren't growing still?

Wage growth this year barely kept up with inflation. And when you consider that housing, healthcare, and education are still spiralling upward faster then it means that US workers are actually falling behind still. You'd think with such a tight job market that wages would start growing more, but they just aren't. Why do you think that is?

Mark Carney, Govenor of the Bank of England issued a report today saying that job creation is on the rise but because of slowly increasing wages and high demand for homes inflation is rising at the same pace as wages.
As a result he's upped the base lending rate to slow borrowing and encourage folk to save.

All of which is ok as long as the banks and the utilities don't suddenly raise pricing/lending above the rate of inflation.
