Wage Growth in Construction Outpaces National Average

摘要

Amid slowing U.S. wage growth overall, the labor-starved construction industry stands out among the rest, with electricians especially benefiting. For all industries, annual wage growth in October was 2.1%, unchanged from a month earlier, according to job and recruiting website Glassdoor. However, annual wages for construction workers rose the most of any profession tracked by the site, increasing 6.1% year-over-year to a median pay of $42,942.
