Bonuses Are Getting Bigger This Year. Here’s How to Snag One
If you've come to rely on an annual work bonus to put a little extra cash in your hands, you may be in luck. According to staffing firm Accounting Principals, 63% of U.S. companies are planning to give out bonuses this year. But that's not the only piece of good news. The average 2017 bonus is expected to hit $1,797, up from $1,081 from the year prior. That's a roughly 66% increase, in case you were wondering.
