workers increased 0.9 percent from July to September, bumping yearly
earnings growth to the highest level since the 2008 recession.
Wages and salaries for American workers in the private sector rose 0.8
percent over the past three months, while state and local government workers
saw 0.9 percent more pay since July, according to data released Wednesday
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The uptick exceeded expectations from analysts and outpaced the 0.5-percent
gain in pay between April and June of 2018. Wages and salaries have
increased 2.9 percent on the year since September 2017, the fastest rate
since September 2008. I break down the numbers here.
What comes next: The ADP national employment report, also released Wednesday
, showed private businesses adding 227,000 jobs in October, beating
economists' expectations for an increase of 189,000. The Labor Department
will release its jobs report on Friday. |
