Nepal, July 26 -- Over 40 percent of American workers have seen their real incomes decline over the past year, according to a labor market report released Thursday by the employment website Indeed.
The report revealed that posted wages in the United States rose by 2.9 percent year-on-year in June 2025, just marginally ahead of the 2.7 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
This narrow gap meant that for 43 percent of workers, earnings failed to keep pace with rising consumer prices, eroding their purchasing power in real terms.
