The pay gap between job switchers and job changers narrowed in May in the latest sign that the US labor market is cooling from a hot start to 2024.from ADP released Wednesday showed that the median year-over-year pay increase for job switchers fell to 7.8% in May, from a recent spike of 8.3% in March and 8% in April. The gap between pay gains for job changers and those of job switchers, which grew at a 5% pace in May, is at its lowest level since February and a far cry from 2022-2023 levels.
