After remaining virtually flat the previous year, compensation for workers in the Washington region rose 2.1 percent in 2012, according to a new survey, The Washington Post reported.
The median salary increase was the largest the area has seen since 2010, according to data compiled by consulting firm Akron on behalf of the Human Resource Association of the National Capital Area, but still fell short of the region’s 3.2 rate of inflation in 2011.
