Reasons why Japanese salaries continue to be separated to the United States will not be reflected in wages even if prices rise

Wages and prices are rising in the United States

The wage is rising in the United States as the recovery from Corona.According to data from the Ministry of Commerce's Economic Analysis Bureau (BEA), the total wage salary was rising rapidly from the second quarter of 2021 and 13 from the fourth quarter..4 %, 11.4 %, 10.It showed a very high growth of 0%.

In the United States, the business is good, mainly in the information industry, so there is room for companies to raise wages.And because the job market is functioning, if you do not raise the wage, you will be pulled out of excellent employees.

On the other hand, prices are rising.The Consumer Price Index in January 2022 was 7 -year -old the same month..It rose 5%.Thus, wages and prices are rising.

Import prices are soaring in Japan.Compared to the same month of the previous year, it exceeded 40 % in November 2021 and December (37 in January 2022)..5 %).

On the other hand, consumer prices have not risen.The year -on -year of consumer prices in January 2022 (comprehensive excluding fresh food) is minus 0.It was 2 %.

However, this is due to a price reduction of mobile phone communication charges.Without this, the rise rate is already nearly 2%.

Since this effect will be lost from April, it will actually have a price increase rate of about 2%.

Ukraine has risen in crude oil prices, which may increase import prices.

It is quite possible that the increase in consumer prices will be about 3%and 4%.
