Salaries are rising, but not for everyone. In what areas did average earnings fall in August?

The average salary of Belarusians has been growing for the fifth month in a row. In August, average earnings increased across the country by almost 17 rubles. However, wages did not increase in all areas last month.

In August, the average wages of both wage leaders and outsiders “shrank”. Thus, specialists who are engaged in information technologies and activities in the field of information services earned 103 rubles less last month than in July. On average, they received 3,393.2 rubles in August.

The salaries of already familiar salary outsiders - cultural workers - fell to 448.1 rubles in August. This is 6.6 rubles less than in July.

The salaries of specialists who are engaged in ancillary activities of air transport decreased by 157 rubles last month, and those who are engaged in ancillary activities in the field of financial services and insurance began to receive almost 202 rubles less than in July.

Salaries in education, HEALTH care, fishing and fish farming also fell last month. Less began to receive couriers and postmen.


Reference.

The nominal accrued average monthly salary includes income tax and the mandatory insurance contribution of the employee. Employers' contributions to employees' social insurance are not included in the average wage. The average earnings are determined by Belstat specialists by dividing the salary fund accrued to employees of the organization, including income tax and the mandatory insurance contribution of the employee, for the reporting period by the number of employees of the organization and by the number of months in the period.
