The U.S. Department of Labor reported a deceleration in average hourly earnings, with the rate of increase slowing to 0.3% in December 2024, down from 0.4% in November 2024. The updated figures, released on January 10, 2025, highlight a reduction in the month-over-month earnings growth for American workers.

This decrease may signal a cooling in wage pressures following significant gains earlier in the year. The tempered growth could reflect a variety of factors, including adjustments in labor demand and shifts in the economic landscape as businesses close out the financial year.

Economists and policymakers will be closely monitoring these developments as they could have implications for broader economic conditions and the Federal Reserve’s approach to interest rates. Keeping an eye on employment costs is crucial in managing inflation expectations and ensuring stable economic growth. The fluctuations in wage growth underscore ongoing uncertainties in the post-pandemic recovery phase.
