Wages are now increasing faster than inflation in France. According to the latest data communicated by the Ministry of Labor, the basic salary in the private sector increased by 3.3% year-on-year in the first quarter while inflation was at the same time 2.1%. Households should finally start to regain purchasing power.
Other good news, still in the first quarter: salaried employment in private companies increased by 0.2% with 50,000 jobs created. Over one year, more than 101,000 positions were created in the commercial sector.
