AI Data Insight

The latest data for Q3 2026 show that US private sector average weekly earnings reached $1300.66, continuing to rise from the previous value of $1298.6. Although nonfarm payrolls added only 29,000 jobs during the same period and the labor market showed signs of cooling, average weekly hours remained at 34.4 hours, supporting the steady growth of nominal wages. Going forward, close attention must be paid to whether the slowdown in employment momentum will further transmit to working hours and the consumer sector.
