Does it feel like you are in a never-ending bidding war for hourly employees? Are you struggling to grow your workforce as the labor market shrinks? Hourly workers are in high demand and short supply, forcing many companies to respond by increasing pay. Understanding market demand and pay for the skills you need, in the location you need them, is your critical first step toward winning the battle for elusive hourly workers.

The Mercer Hourly Pay Database gives you access to an entire library of jobs aggregated from across Mercer’s leading general and industry compensation surveys, providing you with hourly compensation data for over 4,000 positions! Unrivaled by other sources on the market, this database represents over 4,900 companies and almost 8.1 million incumbents from across industries, all neatly packaged into a proprietary online tool that allows you to customize searches and scenarios based on your needs. Featuring job family, job sub-family, and job description details, get easy access to important compensation elements.

The Year-Over-Year Trends Report is available for download in the Tool, and provides insight into base salary and total cash compensation changes for same incumbents, same jobs at the same organizations, and overall samples.
