Blue-collar workers in the United States have experienced stronger hiring, more job opportunities, and faster pay growth compared to their white-collar counterparts. While the job market is slowing down, unemployment remains low and labor force participation is high. However, job gains have slowed, and white-collar employers, particularly in the tech sector, have reduced hiring. In contrast, job postings for manufacturing roles have increased significantly. Blue-collar workers with lower education levels have seen substantial employment growth, while wages in blue-collar fields have outpaced inflation. Nonetheless, the earnings gap between blue-collar and white-collar workers persists, and the economic situation for blue-collar workers, despite wage gains, remains challenging.
The pay premium for new hires has significantly decreased in recent months, with year-over-year pay growth falling to just 2.9% in September, compared to a 10% jump earlier in the year. Lower quit rates, increasing labor supply, and falling worker demand are contributing factors to the slowing wage growth. Industries such as finance and technology have been hit particularly hard, with pay growth at a standstill or even decreasing. Jobseekers are experiencing lower salaries and fewer negotiation opportunities compared to the "golden age for jobseekers" in 2021 and early 2022. Employers are hesitant to give pay raises to new hires to avoid exacerbating pay equity issues and to retain existing employees. Instead, they are offering low-cost benefits to attract talent.
