Wages for bartenders are growing, according to a new study.
Glassdoor released a new Job Market Report on Tuesday to provide month-to-month insight on job openings and pay changes using data from the website.
"Job openings are like a crystal ball into employer expectations of the U.S. economy," Glassdoor senior economist Daniel Zhao said in a release. "Employers can open or close job postings instantly in response to fast-changing economic trends or world events."

The report found job openings in the country fell slightly from last year, indicating a "slowing labor market," Zhao said. Wages increased 1.4% for workers across all industries since 2018, according to Glassdoor data.
The jobs that experienced the fastest pay growth tended to be low-wage (like bartenders, cashiers, and bank tellers), due to in part to increasing minimum wages. Jobs in manufacturing, like machine and material operators, also experienced wage growth despite projections that the industry will suffer from President Donald Trump’s import tariffs on Chinese products.
