Among all employees in the industries shown, those in the information industry had the largest 12-month percent change in real average hourly earnings (1.6 percent) from March 2013 to March 2014. Over the same period, real average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees in the financial services industry increased 2.0 percent.
These earnings data are from the Current Employment Statistics program. Data for the most recent two months are preliminary. To learn more, see "Real Earnings — March 2014" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL‑14‑0604. The CPI-U from the Consumer Price Indexes program is used to deflate the “all employees” data.
