This article argues that although employers may be claiming that salaries are sinking, the reality is that salaries remain relatively static across the board. While employers could be claiming salary decreases to simplify the resources and logistics required for talent acquisition, the article suggests that the job market has not pivoted to a lower salary trend for job candidates.
