"If you get more than 1,000, if you have to pay rent, eating is a problem." On December 8, a college student who just graduated from Harbin said. According to her, the monthly basic salary is only 2,000 yuan, and is still in the apprenticeship period, about half a year. The entire monthly salary of Harbin is less than 2,500 yuan, which is very common.

However, a new round of minimum wage increases has begun. Among them, Heilongjiang has raised the first gear of the minimum wage from 1160 yuan per month to 1480 yuan on October 1 this year, an increase of 27.5%. Anhui and Zhejiang also raised the local minimum wage in November, with the first file reaching 1,520 yuan and 1,860 yuan respectively. The Chongqing social security department also recently issued a notice to decide to raise the minimum wage from January 1, 2016. The first file was raised from 1,250 yuan to 1,500 yuan, an increase of 20%. Previously, like Guizhou and other places, the first gear of this year's minimum wage has been adjusted to 1,600 yuan, an increase of 28%.

Su Hainan, vice president of the Chinese Labor Association and president of the Salary Professional Committee, pointed out that the general minimum wage should be 40%-60% of the average social wage. Many places have not yet reached this level, because the total labor force is declining every year, the overall employment Supply is in short supply, so there is still the possibility of a continuous increase in the minimum wage.

However, due to the overall economic slowdown, the increase in minimum wages in various regions still needs to be determined according to local conditions. Su Hainan said, "There is a large amount of local adjustments because the past is very low. So the next step is to adjust moderately."

The minimum wage has been adjusted in 26 provinces this year.
According to the news of the Chongqing Social Security Department, from January 1, 2016, the two minimum wages were raised to 1,500 yuan and 1400 yuan per month, respectively, which was increased by 250 yuan compared with the level of January 1, 2014. The increase was 20% and 21.7% respectively.

According to the collation of 21st Century Business Herald, 26 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have adjusted their minimum wages in 2015. There are nine provinces that have announced adjustments since September this year.

Among them, Jilin Province's adjusted minimum wage was 1480 yuan/month, and the second and third grades were 1380 yuan/month and 1280 yuan/month, respectively, with increases of 12.1%, 13.1%, and 14.3%.

In 2012-2014, 25, 27, and 19 provinces in each country adjusted their minimum wages. Only Hebei, Liaoning, Jiangsu, and Qinghai have been announced in 2015. The last adjustment in Liaoning was July 1, 2013. Qinghai, Liaoning, and Hebei were adjusted on May 1, 2014, July 1, and December 1, respectively.

However, the Jiangsu Human Resources and Social Security Department has released news that the minimum wage standard will be adjusted in a timely manner in the second half of the year. The number of provinces that adjust the minimum wage this year is expected to reach 27 or more.

Jian Xinhua, deputy director of the Economic Development Research Center of Wuhan University, believes that it is necessary to speed up the minimum wage. After China’s total economic output exceeds 10 trillion yuan, it can inject more funds into social security to ensure that residents have the money to spend, so that they can increase the contribution of consumption to the economy. When the minimum wage is raised, other reforms must be kept up. "To change the situation of uneven income distribution, in addition to raising the minimum wage, we must also carry out a tax reform." Jane Xinhua said.

The reporters of the 21st Century Business Herald found that in recent years, with the acceleration of the minimum wage adjustment, the minimum wage in some places in the west has even surpassed that of the eastern provinces.

For example, Guizhou and Yunnan adjusted the minimum wage on October 1 and September 1, respectively. The first minimum wage was 1,600 yuan and 1,570 yuan per month. The minimum wage was adjusted in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang on July 1. They were 1620 yuan and 1670 yuan respectively, which exceeded the first level of Fujian's adjusted minimum wage of 1,500 yuan/month on August 1.

The first gear of Shandong's adjusted minimum wage on March 1 this year is only 1,600 yuan / month, not as good as Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. It is not even as good as the first gear of 1620 yuan/month adjusted by Shanxi on May 1 this year.

Su Hainan believes that in developed areas, residents are generally in high-end industries, and the monthly salary greatly exceeds the minimum wage. However, in many remote areas, the occupational stratification is unclear, the middle and low-end income groups are large, and the actual wages exceed the minimum wage is not too much, so the minimum wage standard in remote areas plays a greater role.

Under the new normal, you should take a small step.
As the entire economy moves from high-speed growth to medium-to-high speed, the momentum of rapid growth in residents' income growth in the future may be affected to some extent, but the upward adjustment of the minimum wage in all localities will continue.

Li Yonghong, a senior professional instructor in the labor market in Wuhan, told the 21st Century Business Herald that the minimum wage adjustment was based on a combination of price levels and employment conditions.

The minimum wage in Wuhan's downtown area after adjustment on September 1, 2015 is 1,550 yuan, up about 20% from last year.

The main reason for the sharp increase is that the employment gap is still very large. Foxconn, Lenovo, Haier and Midea all provide more than 30,000 jobs. When the employment gap is large, Wuhan should attract a higher minimum wage than the surrounding areas. Employee.

According to the understanding, the minimum wage in Wuhan after this year's adjustment is 1,550 yuan per month, which is higher than the monthly price of 1530 yuan in Nanchang, 1,500 yuan in Chengdu and Chongqing, and 1480 yuan in Xi'an.

The survey also shows that Wuhan residents have great expectations for rising wages. For example, general workers expect monthly income to be around 2,500-3,000 yuan. Therefore, the current minimum wage in Wuhan is still far from the actual policy objectives and residents' needs.

But the minimum wage adjustment also needs to consider the affordability of the company. Li Yonghong suggested that "the minimum wage adjustment should be carried out in a small step."

Su Hainan believes that with the slowdown of the Chinese economy in the future, although the minimum wage will be raised, the increase should be moderate.

Previous data showed that the average increase in minimum wages in the provinces from 2011 to 2014 was 22%, 20.2%, 17%, and 14.1%, respectively, and the overall situation showed a slowdown.

According to the 21st Century Business Herald reporter, if the average wage of urban units is used, the minimum wage in many places is close to the average wage of urban units of 40%. After the adjustment in 2015, the first gear of Xinjiang's minimum wage was 1,670 yuan. This shows that the first file of the minimum wage in Xinjiang is approaching 40% of the average social wage. Similarly, Guizhou, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, Ningxia, Shandong and other places.

However, developed first-tier cities such as Beishang Guangshen, etc., whose minimum wage level is still far from the average wage level of 40% of the whole society. The main reason is that the average wages of urban units in developed cities are relatively high. Even after accounting for individual industrial and commercial households, the average wage of the whole society is significantly higher than the local minimum wage.
