Employers plan slightly smaller pay increases for 2027

Businesses are beginning to set pay budgets for 2027, but the projected increases are expected to be modest, according to MarketWatch.

The outlet reports that employers plan pay raises for 2027 that are slightly smaller than this year, as costs continue to weigh on households.
