Labor experts say the job market is looking up, driven by rising wages and the lowest number of new unemployment filings in nearly 60 years.

The payroll processing firm ADPΒ reported WednesdayΒ that wages rose year over year last month by 4.4% for workers staying in their jobs, higher than the latest inflation rate of 3.5% reported in June. Those switching jobs saw a 7% bump, the largest since August 2025.

My take:

β€œThe strongest wage growth is showing up where employers still face skill shortages or sustained demand,” said Matthew Warzel, president of MJW Careers, a resume-writing firm.

He said wages are growing fastest for workers in utilities, construction, maintenance, healthcare, social services and private educational services.
