3:35pm ET - We are only two weeks
into the New Year and for anyone who wants the United States economy to
experience a truly robust recovery in 2015; the single biggest question is whether pay raises will become more commonplace. According to Neil Irwin the senior economics correspondent for The New York Times, where he writes for The Upshot, there were three pieces of news yesterday that point to yes. He
joins us today to discuss the new signs that American workers, especially at
the middle and low end of the pay scale, may finally start having enough
negotiating leverage to demand wage increases in excess of inflation. You can also follow Neil on twitter.

Raphael joins us today to discuss whether the figure known as the “Historical Jesus” actually existed.
