US Employment Costs Are Still Falling
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Employment Cost Index (ECI) fell for the second straight quarter, marking the slowest annual wage growth in more than four years. In Q4, total compensation rose just 2.8% year‑over‑year, down from 3.2% in the prior quarter. The slowdown was broad‑based, affecting both private‑sector wages and benefits. The data suggest that labor‑cost pressures, a key driver of inflation, are easing faster than many economists expected.
