“This fall in wages is today one of the saddest characteristics of recent years”highlights GhidiniRodil in his report.
If inflation is compared to salaries, they also lost knockoutsince in recent years the price acceleration was very virulent, with the exception of the pandemic, where there was a slowdown in price variation and the wages they were able to tie the consumer price index, but “with a drop in GDP of almost 8 points and a brutal recession”.

Meanwhile, projections for 2024 predict that this will be the seventh consecutive year where, on average, salaries lose. “Those outside the agreement are going to lose against inflation: 189% adjustment against an estimated inflation of 211%. The scenario in 2024 is very worrying because on the one hand, at the salary level, there could be, as we see the trend, the seventh year of loss of salaries against inflation. If this were not to happen, as the market suggests, It will be because companies, instead of defining a salary guideline, will have to decide whether or not to maintain their staff or start with some selective dismissal.”, stated the CEO of the consultancy, Matías Ghidini.
