SWC’s Fast Five
It’s been a week! 5 things you should know. 1. Fed’s rate increase. 2. Who makes what salary? 3. Ikea’s Russian exit. 4. Amazon is running out of workers and 5. Delta is not a WeWork.

2 Sharing salary ranges is catching
Applying for a job with no real idea of the kind of money you might be making could soon become a headache of the past. The number of job openings with salary data was up 44% year over year in April.
3 Ikea packs up Russian operations
The world’s largest furniture brand, Ikea, is folding up its Russian presence, planning to lay off staff, shut offices, sell its factories, and fully exit Russia.

5 Delta cracks down on lounge lizards
