Most raises are given by a percentage increases. Therefore most wages could be an even number or an odd number.
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.
