Again back to wages....
Maybe Japanese wages haven't grown as much as the 57% growth in Australia in that time frame ? I have so far seen two years, 2007 and 2009, that show wage decline in Japan. |

May 1999 $461.10 pw May 2009 $711.30 pw Increase 54.26% Earnings ; Queensland ; Females ; Full Time ; Adult ; Total earnings ; May 1999 $ 634.30 pw May 2009 $1009.10 pw Increase 59.09% So part time would have risen by about 49% at a rough guess from that. However, that covers all workers not just supermarket. I have listed females as a larger % of supermarket workers, that I see, appear to be female. |
