Singapore average earnings fall, not unemployment
Posted by Blowin?In The Wind
Average earnings fell while there was no drop in unemployment in the second quarter of this year, according to the Singapore labour market survey released by the Manpower Ministry today.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rates remained unchanged at 2.2 per cent overall and 3.2 per cent for Singapore residents, said the report.
There were 84,400 unemployed residents in June 2010. About 16,500 of them have been out of work for more than six months.
Average nominal earnings fell from S$4,310 a month in January-March to S$3,819 a month in April-June.
Average real earnings fell from S$4,263 to S$3,733 as consumer prices rose. The consumer price index was up 3.1 per cent in the second quarter compared with the same period last year. (See the Singapore Statistics Department data here.)
Generally worst off were the 182,300 people in the hotels and restaurants business, with average nominal earnings of S$1,451 a month. See the tables below showing the average earnings and occupations of Singapore抯 three million working population.
The average earnings do not give the real picture, of course, as several sectors pay less than that. Financial services, which pay well above average, took the deepest cut while information and communications bucked the trend with an increase in earnings.
Average earnings fell despite productivity gains in almost every sector. The only sectors were productivity dropped were business services, down 0.7 per cent, and information and communications, down 3.3 per cent.

Nonsense just look at how the iPhone and iPad sales, all sold out even after 2 months, how taxi drivers can afford to loose ten of thousands and you know how rich all Singaporeans are.

Most of the iPhones sold to SPG girls who are making a killing selling themselves at Casino to FT customers. One time they can earn 500 to 1000. Tax free income......U thought mei mei from China were bad.....

Another person who refuse to believe that Singapore is in its golden peroid. We are making many millionnaires this year and they bring us good business. Those reported are losers who refuse to upgrade themselves.
