2017 Salary Projections and Recruiting

2017 Salary Increase Projections

CNI Recruiting is pleased to present the following preliminary 2017 Salary Increase Projections as reported by three national employer surveys.  The companies conducting the surveys and the survey results are as follows.

  • Economic Research Institute (ERI) 3.0%
  • The Conference Board 3.0%
  • WorldatWork 3.1%
  • Average salary projection 3.0%

These results are consistent with the actual average salary increases through May of this year of 3.0% as reported by WorldatWork and the following trend in salary increases since 2012:

2012     2013     2014     2015     2016
2.7%      2.8%      2.9%      2.8%      3.0%

Signals For Modest Salary Increases

Most economic reports seem to support the projections for continued modest salary increases.  For example, the U.S. economy continues to grow at approximately 2% per year and this low growth rate contributes to restraining increases in compensation.  In addition, many employers are concerned that we may be coming to the end of an extended growth phase and as the result are being cautious regarding salary increases.

Signals For Higher Salary Increases

A conflicting report by The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta stated that salaries have increased 3.6% on a year over year basis as of June 2016. The Atlanta Fed noted that starting in October 2015, wage growth has accelerated at the highest rate since January 2009. Also, the U.S. unemployment rate has fallen from a high of 9.5% in June 2009 to 4.9% in June 2016 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and a tightening labor market will tend to increase wages. Although a significant component of the reduction in unemployment is due to workers leaving the work force, the change in the unemployment rate is certainly dramatic.

Incentive Pay

Another indication of employer caution as related to compensation, is that companies are increasingly moving from annual salary increases to incentive oriented financial rewards, such as quarterly and annual bonuses, as a way to recognize top performers and reduce overall employee compensation.  Although this approach improves profits and cash flow, it can lead to an increase in the number of problem employees among those who did not receive incentives, which can result in increased employee turn- over. 

Employee Turnover, Retention and Recruiting

If pay increases continue to be modest in 2017, the number of employees changing jobs to obtain greater compensation will increase. Employers should focus on the reasons for employee dissatisfaction and how to mitigate them in order to reduce turn-over and improve recruiting. The following are the top non-compensation related reasons for dissatisfaction:

  1. Limited opportunities for advancement 
  2. Unhappy with management 
  3. Overworked 
  4. Insufficient opportunities for training and personal development
  5. Lack of recognition
