Update: 2025-12-25
Description
U.S. employers plan modest wage increases in 2026, with a 3.3% average, down from 2025 levels. The job market is cooling, with no significant hiring pushes expected. Wage growth for workers is projected to be moderate, unlike the substantial increases in 2022. Some economists see potential wage increases in sectors like construction due to potential labor supply improvements. The outlook remains cautious, with steady pay growth in a balanced but low-key job market.
