Wages increased by 4.8 percent in October

In October 2015, the gross and net average earnings increased by 4.8 percent, compared to a year before.

Without counting the public workers the increase was 5.6 percent compared to the previous month's 5.3 percent – the Central Statistical Office (KSH) reported on Friday. As the annual inflation rate was 0.1 percent in October the increase in real wages was almost equal to the rise in earnings as well. (MTI)
