３月の実質賃金０．２％減　物価高騰で３カ月ぶり低下

　厚生労働省が９日発表した３月の毎月勤労統計調査（速報、従業員５人以上）によると、基本給と残業代などを合わせた現金給与総額（名目賃金）から物価変動の影響を除いた実質賃金は、前年同月比０．２％減となった。名目賃金の伸びが物価の上昇に追い付かず、３カ月ぶりに低下した。
　原油や原材料の高騰が影響し、実質賃金の算出に用いる３月の消費者物価指数（持ち家の帰属家賃を除く総合）は１．５％上昇と、２０１８年１０月以来３年５カ月ぶりの高い伸びを示した。
　３月の現金給与総額は、労働者１人当たりの平均で１．２％増の２８万６５６７円と、３カ月連続で上昇した。内訳は、基本給が中心の「所定内給与」が０．５％増、残業代を含む「所定外給与」が２．５％増。賞与など「特別に支払われた給与」も１０．７％増えた。（2022/05/09-08:35）

Japan's inflation-adjusted real wage index in March dropped 0.2 pct from a year before, down for the first time in three months, the labor ministry said in a preliminary report Monday.
   The fall came as the pace of inflation exceeded that of nominal wage growth.
   The consumer price index excluding imputed rent, used to calculate the real wage index, surged 1.5 pct in the reporting month due to a spike in crude oil and materials prices, posting the sharpest rise since October 2018.
   Total wages per worker increased 1.2 pct to 286,567 yen on average, up for the third consecutive month. Regular pay, including basic salaries, rose by 0.5 pct, overtime and other nonregular pay by 2.5 pct, and bonuses and other special pay by 10.7 pct.
   The total average pay increased 1.5 pct to 372,765 yen for full-time workers and dropped 0.2 pct to 97,309 yen for part-timers.
