Lydia DePillis said US wage growth continued to slow in August. Average hourly earnings rose 3.1% YoY, the weakest pace since the pandemic — still respectable by historical standards but now below inflation after an energy-price spike tied to the Middle East war. Local government education payrolls rebounded by 42,000 in August, suggesting earlier large declines were largely seasonal. Colby Smith said the wage slowdown underscores why the Fed does not view the labor market as the source of inflation; had wages been the main driver, the Fed would likely be more inclined to raise borrowing costs to curb demand.
