Employers predict an increase in total hires and wages from last summer, according to the 2015 Summer Hiring Survey by Snagajob, a job portal for hourly workers. The survey found 78% of employers expect to hire the same amount, or more, of summer employees as last year.

Of employers who plan to hire summer workers, 74% expect to have those positions filled by the end of May, and 10% have already filled summer positions.

The average reported wage for summer workers in 2015 is $11.52, up from last year’s predicted average pay of $10.39. Employers in the hospitality industry will pay an average wage for summer employees of $11.17. Restaurant/food service jobs will pay an average wage of $10.05, and retail $10.03.

The Snagajob Survey was conducted by Wakefield Research among 1,000 US adults responsible for hiring hourly employees, with a minimum of 100 interviews in each of the following industries: retail, restaurant and hospitality. It was conducted between March 25 and April 3, 2015.
