In Q2 2026, U.S. supplements to wages and salaries within personal income reached 2,859.9 billion USD, an increase of 17.0 billion USD from the previous value, with a year-over-year growth of 4.0%, continuing to set a new historical high. Under the structural transformation of the labor market, corporate benefit expenditures even temporarily outpaced real wage growth, becoming a key factor in stabilizing consumption momentum. Looking ahead, as the labor shortage eases and the labor market cools, the growth rate of supplemental costs is expected to gradually converge.
