Improved Compensation is the Key

Retail employers increased wages in June from $31,000 to $33,000. Accommodation/Food Services wages did not increase, but the number of postings with advertised rates increased to nearly 1 in 2 jobs. This indicates continued aggressiveness on the part of employers in filling jobs.
