Wages growth has ‘picked up substantially’ under Albanese govt: Chalmers

“The former government presided over a decade of deliberate wage stagnation and wage suppression,” Mr Chalmers told Sky News Australia.

“And what we’re seeing now in these really welcome and pleasing figures from the first months of the Albanese Labor government is that wages growth has picked up substantially. “It’s around 3.1 per cent right now – the average of the decade before that was about, I think, 2.3 per cent.”

What a Crock of !!!! So are food Prices ,interest Rates and Everything else.!!!!

🤣🤣🤣 not my wage 🤣🤣🤣

Create an environment where inflation is as high as it is currently and wages will increase; it is misleading and dishonest to take the credit.

This is the dumbest thing ever. Politicians have no idea on economics.

What these banana peels don’t understand is that the consumer funds the wages growth. Costs in businesses are just passed down to the consumer. This changes access to these products in the market by having more expensive services/ products less and less people have access…

Well, that is a good way to fight inflation... I guess it will result in more interest rate rises then.... that's helpful.

Everything picked up , wages , interest rates , cash rate , inflation , energy bills ......geez you guys are really on the ball.

Whooo hooo a whole 2% , that’ll help pay for our 40% increase in energy andPeteol

So did interest rates.

As it always was going to as a results of labour shortages everywhere.

Snake Chalmer

AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE ARE SICK OF THE CORRUPT SKYNEWS ANTI LABOR MEDIA PRESS, SKYNEWS MEDIA COMMENTATORS ARE ALL LIBERAL NATIONAL VOTERS OR X LIBERAL NATIONAL MPS, NO LABOR X MPS AS SKYNEWS MEDIA PRESS, IT,S VERY CLEAR SKYNEWS WILL ALWAYS BE ANTI LABOR WITH 24/7 FAKE LIES ABOUT ALP.

Why should I believe in Labor lies

Great for inflation labour clown show.

So has inflation.

What, like inflation?

Maybe for him.

Which drives inflation higher because it is not matched by productivity increase which immediately devalues the wage increase putting on more pressure to increase wages further accelerating inflation. It is Marxist Socialist Labor Magic Pie economics. Start buying gold.

Inflation, interest rates and power prices have increased by more which means people’s “real wage” is practically going backwards.

So Australian are complaining about nothing & the increases can be offset by their higher wages? Sure, just gaslight the people who are not on the public purse, see how far that gets you..

I’ll get excited when it outstrips skyrocketing costs…

Because Cost of Living went up higher…

And yet my purchasing power is down

Chalmers, the spin doctor, show us the statistics that prove this. Where are the 604,000 new green environmental jobs you promised?

Immigration could surge to 300,000 in 2022-23Treasurer Jim Chalmers said it was reasonable to expect migration to be higher given extreme labour shortages were creating strong pull factors. And where are they going to live? We already have so many homeless people in each state due to housing shortages, with the number of rentals so few and the amount of rent out of reach for so many Australians. Absolutely incompetent. A population ponzi is not an economy. Wake up Australians. Lab or Lib they do not act for you No. There are no shortages, it's a false call, there are many people who are out of work & who would like to change employment or work more hours. Stop immigration. Aust cannot have any more people, situation's critical in terms of ecosystems & housing. JEChalmers
