High demand | What's the average salary of a US worker in 2023?

With the war for talent reaching fever pitch in 2023, it’s unsurprising that new data from the US Bureau of Labor this week discovered that several industries are paying their workers well above the national average.

In fact, the data found that salaries across the nation are growing in all sectors, with the average annual salary of American workers being approximately $62,000, up from just over $61,000 in 2022 and $60,575 in 2021.

Following the ongoing effects of the pandemic and an uncertain economic outlook, the 2021 rate represented the biggest jump in annual pay since it reached the $50,000-level.

The US Bureau of Labor is based on data collected from various industries, including healthcare, education, manufacturing, and finance.
