In June, employers surveyed by consulting firm WTW said they were planning to increase salaries by about 4% in 2024, compared to 4.6% in 2023. Wage growth has 'come down pretty steadily'Employees are entering a tighter job market, which has affected wage predictions, said Terrazas. "We should expect less turnover to continue to tamp down wage growth in coming months," according to the report. At the current rate, Indeed's tracker forecasts posted wage growth to reach the 2019 average of 3.1% in late 2023 or early 2024. Wage growth has "come down pretty steadily" since that pandemic high, Indeed economist Cory Stahle said.
