The Atlanta Fed has developed a measure of wage growth using microdata from the CPS. For details see Wage Growth Tracker. Wages have slowed down in the last three months, from 3.2% in June to 3% in September. The male and female wages have diverged recently, but the overall trend since 2010 is clear: up!


The chart below shows that the (3mma) median increase in wages for individuals working in September 2014 and September 2015 was 3.0%, and compares with the most common measures of wage growth.
