His focus was on the group of players who were active and healthy and what they would do to help the Twins win Saturday’s game.And Saturday, a group of hitters, who were given a chance as a result of some of the Twins’ recent injuries, did just that, spurring the team to a 9-7 win on Saturday afternoon at Target Field.Willi Castro, who has seen his role increase over the past few weeks, had three hits, including a pair of home runs. Forest Lake’s Matt Wallner, up with Max Kepler and Trevor Larnach on the injured list, went 4 for 4 with an outfield assist, socking his first home run of the season.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:34:47 GMT

Workers have had the advantage over employers in recent years—for the first time in about two decades. The presence of more job openings than unemployed people has meant many businesses have had to offer higher pay, better benefits, and other perks to draw in workers.On average, private sector wages increased 4.3% in the year from March 2022 to March 2023. That wage increase was outpaced by inflation, which rose 5% in that same period, though it is slowing. In April, inflation was slightly lower, at 4.9%.Among the most lucrative fields for workers have been industries that bounced back from the coronavirus pandemic, top among them the travel and energy sectors.International travel in 2022 reached 63% of the level in 2019—the year before the pandemic began—and global tourism is expected to improve even more in 2023, though economic uncertainty could change that projection.As far as energy, restrictions on businesses reduced demand during the pandemic.
