The actual pay raise in 2012 has apparently not been calculated yet. CNN says this is an increase from 2011, in which the average employee pay raise was 2.7 percent, but Mercerâs own website says the average raise in 2011 was 2.9 percent â the same as the prediction for 2013. Moreover, Mercerâs own website announced their prediction for 2012 as 3 percent.
The Canadian Meat Packers Council recommends that internal meat temperatures should not exceed 39Â°F or 4Â°C, and other studies have suggested that the optimal storage temperature for meat is just below the freezing point.
1 Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, poultry to 180 degrees, pork to 170 degrees, and ground beef to 170 degrees.  Keep foods out of the temperature danger zone â Once items are cooked, it is important to keep them warm or to refrigerate them promptly.
