Despite a "six-month slowdown," wage growth in the United States has grown by two percent, according to Glassdoor's Local Pay Reports. The annual median base pay reached $51,556 in August.
The Pay Reports provide an overview of national and metro-area trends in median base pay for full-time U.S. workers, Glassdoor says. It estimates pay by job title, industry and employer size.

Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at Glassdoor, is also eyeing another profession that he thinks could be joining wage-growth trend.
"We are closely watching retail," he says in the report. "While the holiday season is months away, retailers are making preparations to fill short-term positions in time for the holiday buying rush. Jobs typically associated with this seasonal swing in hiring, including cashiers and warehouse jobs, are seeing above-average pay growth."
