実質賃金、９年ぶりの低下幅　２．２％減、２年連続マイナス―２３年度

　厚生労働省が２３日発表した２０２３年度の毎月勤労統計調査（確報、従業員５人以上）によると、現金給与総額（名目賃金）に物価の変動を反映させた実質賃金は、前年度比２．２％減った。低下幅は消費税増税の影響で物価が上昇した１４年度（２．９％減）以来、９年ぶりの大きさとなった。
　実質賃金のマイナスは２年連続。給与の伸びは堅調に推移しているものの、円安や原油高を背景とする物価上昇に追い付いていない。（2024/05/23-16:32）

Japan's inflation-adjusted real wages fell 2.2 pct in fiscal 2023 from the previous year, logging the sharpest decline in nine years due to rising prices, the labor ministry said Thursday.
   Real wages marked a second straight year of decline in the fiscal year that ended last March as pay increases failed to keep pace with inflation.
   The 2.2 pct decline was the largest since fiscal 2014, when real wages fell 2.9 pct as a consumption tax increase pushed up prices.
   In fiscal 2023, nominal monthly wages rose 1.3 pct to 332,533 yen on average. The consumer price index excluding imputed rent, a measure used to calculate real wages, climbed 3.5 pct.
