According to a private survey result, the average annual salary of full-time employees registered on the job change site during the year up to August 2021 decreased by 60,000 yen from the same period of the previous year.



Among them, the decline in income in the 20s to 40s is large, and it is thought that the cause is that overtime pay has decreased due to the corona disaster.

The human resources service company "Persol Career" has compiled the average annual income based on the data of about 450,000 full-time employees aged 20 to 65 who registered on the job change site during the year until the end of August 2021.



According to this, the average annual income was 4.03 million yen, a decrease of 60,000 yen from the same period of the previous year.



By age group, "20s" was 3.41 million yen, "30s" was 4.37 million yen, and "40s" was 5.02 million yen, a decrease of 70,000 yen to 80,000 yen compared to the previous year. ..



It is believed that this was due to the spread of telework due to the corona sickness, the reduction in overtime pay due to short-time business hours, and the reduction in bonuses.



On the other hand, "50s and over" was 6.13 million yen, which was the same as the previous year.



It is believed that many managers in their 50s and above were not easily affected by overtime pay.



As the number of registered users on the job change site is increasing, Kyoko Kita of "Persol Career" said, "The impact of the global economic downturn in Corona was reflected in salaries. This survey result is disappointing, but in the future I think it was a year that I was aware of when considering the working environment of the company. "

Expert "I haven't escaped from the" Showa way of working ""

Regarding these surveys, Hisashi Yamada, a senior researcher at the Japan Research Institute, who is familiar with employment issues, said, "Originally, you should be able to finish your work basically within the prescribed working hours and get a sufficient basic salary, but in Japan, the so-called" Showa work style " "We have not completely escaped from this. It is necessary to create a principle that is commonplace in Europe and the United States."



On top of that, regarding future work styles, "In the face of labor shortages, it is important for companies to secure and retain human resources. As the economic and social and industrial structures change toward after-corona, telework will There are companies that have become widespread and accept side jobs, and new ways of working are emerging. It is important for both companies and workers to try new possibilities and take a positive view of change. " ..
