The Department of Labor in June proposed increasing the salaries test used to determine if an employee is eligible for overtime from $23,660 to $50,440 annually. This proposal, which more than doubles the current standard, would set the salary threshold nearly $10,000 and $15,000 higher than what is mandated in California and New York. While the current salaries test should be increased, a full 113% increase after a decade of inaction would ultimately hurt employees.

Maybe digital media isn't too big to fail.
Last week, The New York Times, itself invested in a make-or-break bet on migrating its business into digital media, began to sound an official-like alarm about the digital future. It noted that modest worry on the part of publishers — in fact, the Times' enthusiastic coverage of digital media had generally missed the modest worry stage — was turning into "borderline panic."

"The core change in the Facebook paradigm is that engagement will become more valuable as opposed to just click-through rates and the quantity of clicks. They're starting to talk about quality," said Moti Cohen, CEO of Apester.
