Bosses in North Texas apparently aren't too eager to hand out raises according to some newly released numbers.

She says Houston was lower than us with only a 1% increase and out of the top 15 metropolitan areas, the worst was Phoenix which actually showed a decrease in wages.
The city with the highest increase Boston.
