Workers in the US now want at least $76,000 to start a new job as minimum wage expectations continue to rise in a red-hot job market.
  • Employees' wage expectations have risen to $76,000 a year, according to a New York Fed survey.
  • The lowest wage that someone would accept for a new role is almost $2,100 higher than it was in November.
  • The rise in expected salary levels comes at a time of historically low unemployment rates in America.

American employers may need to fork out even bigger bucks to lure in workers.
