Compensation for U.S. workers rose again in the third quarter of the year and at a faster pace than expected, indicating employers remain competitive with pay.

Workers were paid 1.1 percent more in the third quarter than the second quarter, according to the Employment Cost Index, released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's slightly higher from the 1 percent climb seen in the second quarterā€”and higher than the 1 percent that analysts forecasted. Wages and salaries increased 1.2 percent and benefit costs increased 0.9 percent from June 2023.

Year-over-year, compensation costs in the U.S. for private sector workersā€”including pay and benefitsā€”rose 4.3 percent.
