If you make $14.75 now and get a 2.5% increase, your new rate will be 1.025 x $14.75 = $15.11. You go from an even number to an odd number.
Therefore wages could be odd or even depending on the percentage increase.
I never really believed in percentage increases because the more you make the more you get. The difference from the lowest wage to the highest wage keeps getting further apart.

I understand how percentages can result in odd numbers, I am just surprised they don't round to the nearest nickel. As far as your last comment, this logic is what will drive this country to ruin. The end result of such thinking is the rich become less rich and the poor become destitute.
