Payroll growth should slow gradually through 2022 with reduced growth in the economy. We expect the jobless rate to dip to 3.7% from 3.8% in February. Hours-worked are assumed to rise 0.3% after the 0.8% February increase. Average hourly earnings are assumed to rise 0.5%, after a flat figure in February. In the last expansion, we saw a 3.5% peak for y/y wage gains, in both February and July of 2019, before the pandemic-boost to an 8.0% peak in April of 2020, and the ensuing strength in wage gains that has allowed continued robust y/y increases into 2022.
