Every month, job review site Glassdoor sifts through the troves of data submitted by its users to see make sense of the labor market.

Across the board, US workers saw a 1.6% jump in October compared to the previous year, but in some cities that growth was over 2%.

"U.S. wage growth is steady but slow. We've seen incremental increases over the past few months after a slight decline of U.S. median pay over the summer months," said Glassdoor's chief economist Andrew Chamberlain. "While we are still well below the 3.5 percent pay growth rate of January, I am encouraged by the slight salary increases recorded since August and anticipate growth to continue to accelerate through the end of the year."
