実質賃金、２７カ月ぶりプラス転換　１．１％増、賃上げ効果波及―６月

　厚生労働省が６日発表した６月の毎月勤労統計調査（速報、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同月比１．１％増と、２７カ月ぶりにプラスに転換した。２０２４年春闘で妥結した高い賃上げ率が浸透して基本給が伸びたほか、好調な企業業績が反映されたとみられるボーナスの増額が主因。
　実質賃金のプラス転換により、個人消費の回復を通じた日本経済の成長が期待できる。一方、米国経済の悪化に対する警戒感や円相場の急騰を背景とする株価の下落が、消費者マインドを悪化させる可能性もあり、先行きは不透明だ。（2024/08/06-08:36）

Japan's inflation-adjusted real wages grew for the first time in 27 months in June, the labor ministry said Tuesday.
   The real wage index rose 1.1 pct from a year before, reflecting higher base salaries following large wage hikes agreed on during this year's "shunto" spring wage negotiations. Another positive factor was increased bonuses on the back of rosy corporate earnings.
   The turnaround in real wages may fuel a rebound in private consumption, leading to economic growth. But the outlook is unclear as worries over a U.S. economic downturn and falling Japanese stock prices due to the yen's rapid appreciation may dampen consumer sentiment.
   Monthly nominal wages per worker increased 4.5 pct to 498,884 yen on average, up for the 30th straight month. Of the total, nonregular pay such as bonuses rose 7.6 pct, and regular pay grew 2.3 pct for the fastest increase in 29 years and eight months.
   Meanwhile, the consumer price index excluding imputed rent, used to calculate the real wage index, advanced 3.3 pct, unchanged from the previous month.
