Rise in Wages in Schleswig-Holstein: 3.1% Over the Past Year

Real Wages in Schleswig-Holstein Stabilise at a More Normal Level

In a recent report by the Statistics Office North in Kiel and Hamburg, it has been announced that real wage growth in Schleswig-Holstein is now stabilising. The report, originating from the dpa news agency, indicates that real wages have been on the rise, offering increased purchasing power to consumers.

According to the data available, real wages in Schleswig-Holstein increased by 3.1% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year. However, the exact numerical value for the second quarter of 2023 remains unspecified. The previous quarter, the first quarter of 2023, saw a 0.7% increase in real wages compared to the same quarter in 2022.

The report does not specify the industries or sectors that contributed to this growth. A statistician from the Statistics Office North in Kiel and Hamburg made the statement, describing the stabilisation of real wage growth as being at a more normal level. The increase in real wages, the statistician explained, is a positive sign for the economy.

It is important to note that real wages, as mentioned, are earnings adjusted for inflation. This means that the increases in real wages are a true reflection of the purchasing power of consumers, taking into account the cost of living.

The Statistics Office North is located in Kiel and Hamburg, Germany. The office is responsible for collecting, analysing, and publishing statistical data related to the economy, society, and environment in the region. Their reports are a valuable resource for understanding economic trends and developments in Schleswig-Holstein and beyond.
