How much money are you worth? 

Employees still have the upper hand in the labor market, with job candidates being offered more money than last year. The average full-time offer over the past four months was for $69,475 a year, up $9,000 from an average annual salary of $60,764 one year ago, according to the Survey of Consumer Expectations released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Monday. Some 19.5% of job seekers reported receiving at least one job offer over the past four months, down from 21.1% a year ago.
