Which Jobs Have the Fastest Wage Growth?
After six months of slowing wage growth, August turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
Workers in the United States saw their annual median base pay grow by 2% year-over-year for the month of August, rising to $51,556, according to the Glassdoor Local Pay Reports. That's an improvement over July where wages increased by only 1.7%, but still below January's peak of 3.4%.
"We will be watching eagerly to see if this starts a trend in the opposite direction," said Glassdoor Chief Economist Andrew Chamberlain. "We are also closely watching retail, and while the holiday season is still months away, retailers are already making preparations to fill short-term positions in time for the holiday buying rush."
