Nov 22 (Reuters) - Derived from traditional festivals, the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving on Thursday customarily was a moment to "express gratitude for a bountiful harvest", according to this government website. For modern workers laboring at cash registers or restocking shelves, the bounty arrives in a different manner. Still, it's a good moment to consider their earnings in context, especially after the look at trends in executive pay in last week's newsletter.
Let's reflect via this week's main story below about how a large asset manager will press companies to pay a "living wage." It's part of a broader push by on the subject by the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility. You'll also find links to stories about obstacles facing green jet fuel and new expectations for the SEC's long-awaited climate-disclosure rule.
