While the median wage for a Seattle worker slumped a little in July, the number of job openings saw another bump, something mirrored across the nation, according to a new job report from Glassdoor.

Median pay for the Emerald City dropped down to $63,034 a year for July 2019, a $168 decrease from June. But it's not all bad news as it was a 2.2% growth over July 2018, a higher year-over-year increase than the national median which rose 1.9% to $53,602 since last year.

Job openings grew faster in Seattle than the rest of the nation as well, a repeat of June's job report. The number of openings from last month also increased by 3,505; the increase was felt relatively evenly across the city's industries as the top performers from June were the same in July, health care still reigning supreme for openings.

The year-over-year growth for job openings in Seattle was 7.1%, more than the 4.6% national growth. It also beat out cities like New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. But, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Boston all had higher growth. Boston had a year-over-year increase of 10.6% for a total of 152,376 job openings.

However, Seattle struck back with its median wage. Only New York and San Francisco out of Glassdoor's highlighted cities beat it with $63,991 and $72,878 median pays respectively.

Just like last month, the top job openings across the city aren't all in tech, as only three out of the top 10 were traditional tech industries -- but at least 26% of job openings in the city were in tech industries.
