THE ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION INDUSTRY

Featured Article

To Adjust or Not to Adjust, that is the Question  The labor market might be cooling off "a bit" but people are still in control of their destiny when it comes to switching jobs and considering new opportunities to advance their career or earn more money. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, those who switch jobs have seen annual average earnings increase of 8.5% vs. receiving 5.9% for those who stayed with their current employer. While US employers say they expect the average raise to be 4.1% in 2023, which would be the largest hike in 15 years, according to a survey of more than 1,400 organizations from advisory firm Willis Towers Watson. In 2022, the average increase in compensation due to a job change in the electrical distribution industry was 12.6%. With many employees expecting their company to pay adjustments that fully compensate for the staggering 9.1% cost of living increase in 2022, may be sorely disappointed.
