Thanks to the economic recovery achieved by the Government of Javier Milei, the wage index prepared by INDEC indicated a 2.9% increase in the average wages of formal and informal workers during the first month of the year.
Additionally, as has been the case since 2024, this increase exceeded the inflation level recorded in the same month, which was 2.2%, so wages increased in real terms.
This wage increase in January was broken down into a 2.3% in the registered private sector, a 0.9% in the public sector, and an impressive 8.6% in the unregistered private sector.
In year-over-year terms, the wage index experienced a 117% increase, above inflation. This breaks down into a 111% increase in the registered private sector, a 97.5% in the public sector, and a 189.6% in the unregistered private sector.
