I think so. Pre 9/11 wages, IMO, will never happen again. I think, however, we will see substantial raises with bigger profit sharing checks. Profit sharing allows the company to pay when the company is doing well, and not pay when the company is in the red. Profit sharing is also a bigger incentive than just a blanket - across the board raise.
