２月実質賃金、２カ月連続減　コメ・野菜の高騰響く

　厚生労働省が７日発表した２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）から物価上昇の影響を差し引いた実質賃金は、前年同月比１．２％減だった。マイナスは２カ月連続。コメや野菜など身近な食品の高騰が長引いており、物価の上昇に賃金の伸びが追い付かなかった。（2025/04/07-08:36）

Real wages in Japan fell for the second straight month in February as wage growth failed to outpace price rises amid continued price hikes for everyday items such as rice and vegetables, government data showed Monday.
   The inflation-adjusted real wage index declined 1.2 pct from a year before, the labor ministry said in a preliminary report.
   Nominal wages per worker, which include regular and nonregular pay, rose 3.1 pct to 289,562 yen, increasing for the 38th consecutive month.
   The consumer price index excluding imputed rent, used to calculate the real wage index, remained high, growing 4.3 pct.
   A reduction in government subsidies for gasoline and soaring prices offset the effect of wage increases, putting pressure on households.
