Workwhile Unveils the Revolutionary RISE Indicator
RISE provides instant insight into how wages are keeping pace with inflation
During a recent conference, Workwhile, an AI-powered labor platform dedicated to improving worker experiences, introduced its latest development, the RISE (Rate of Increase of Salary and Earnings) Indicator. This innovative tool builds upon the success of their ALUR Index, providing real-time measurements of year-over-year earnings growth that enhance our understanding of economic trends.
Enhancing Economic Measurement with Advanced Technology
Workwhile's RISE Indicator serves as a timely data signal aimed at overcoming the shortcomings of traditional economic indicators, which typically lag behind the evolving economy. Accessible nationally at RISE.US, and tailored for different states, such as RISE.CA and RISE.NY, this new tool focuses on the essential metric of wage growth.
Unlike its predecessor, the ALUR index, which tracked continuous earnings among the flexible workforce, RISE emphasizes wage trends. This makes it invaluable for economists and policymakers who are looking to assess real-time wage growth against inflation rates, providing a more accurate picture of the economic landscape and nurturing worker prosperity.
Real Earnings Growth: RISE's Performance Against Inflation
Since early 2025, the RISE Indicator has consistently outperformed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rates, showing only one instance where it lagged through August. This continuous growth in earnings not only assists general workers but particularly helps flexible workers respond to inflation as it occurs, rather than waiting for annual salary updates.
A Commitment to Worker-Centric Solutions
Workwhile, as an AI-centric entity, is ideally situated to deliver such responsive and detailed indicators. The technology behind it effectively connects businesses to high-quality labor, concurrently empowering hourly employees with flexible work, next-day payments, and significant benefits. This approach not only ensures accurate data collection but also highlights the immediate financial health of the workforce.
Discover the RISE Indicator
The RISE Indicator is readily available in real time and free to use on Workwhile’s website. This accessibility aligns perfectly with Workwhile's mission to prioritize both businesses and workers, paving the way for a more equitable labor market.
