Monthly Average Salary Reaches Ten-Year High! Will the Minimum Wage Increase Again? - Labor Ministry Meeting Discusses Possibility of Adjustment

Reported about 1 year ago

Wage and price issues have always been a major concern for the public. Over the past ten years, the basic monthly salary has increased from 20,008 yuan and hourly wage of 120 yuan in 2014 to 27,470 yuan and hourly wage of 183 yuan in 2024, marking a new high. The Labor Ministry held the 'Minimum Wage Review and Consultation Joint Meeting' on June 26, with 30 members discussing the potential for another minimum wage adjustment. Data from 104 Job Bank shows that the average monthly salary for workers in 2024 reached 47,000 yuan, indicating a 5.4% annual increase, also hitting a decade high. The wage disparity is evident, with higher-paying industries primarily in the technology and finance sectors, highlighting a pyramid-shaped salary structure where lower-paying industries form the base. Employers are increasingly offering more benefits and raising salaries to attract talent, amidst the ongoing economic recovery, providing opportunities for job seekers.
