> What’s that got to do with a mandate to raise *salary*?
Two wings on the same bird. Increase in salary and the size of your bonus are both effected by a loss in sales.
There’s more chance of Abe reanimating.
Is the Japanese government going to lead by example and raise the wages of all federal employees on par with price hikes?
They got the “urge” again!
If only they could legislate…
Well urge them harder
That’s how you create inflation!
This sorta thing has come out before. It’s got no teeth, but it’s the government setting up a “well, we said… but you guys didn’t…” It’s very hone V. Tatemae
Why? Are profits up? Import fees are through the roof and the yen is shit. No reason to raise wages and lose even more money.
Japan used to have comparable wages to other Anglo countries, maybe 10-15 years ago. Now their purchasing power and earning power has fallen massively because there’s so much wage inflation last 10 years in places like US Canada and Aus. Even big cities in China catching/passing it
Lol, English teaching dispatch companies cut wages from what I heard.
What they really need to do is ban the practice of group hiring new grads and encourage hiring experienced workers, and also make it easier to fire people. This will increase labor market liquidity and allow for workers to easily switch to better paying jobs, and also incentivize companies to replace underperforming employees via the labor market
Wouldn’t they just increase the cost of their products? – Capitalism Bullshit 101
They won’t, of course.
Been urging for a while now, isn’t?
It is quite mysterious to see the same phenomenon worldwide:
1. Companies raise prices at an alarming rate. 2. Companies blame “inflation” and say there is nothing they can do. 3. Companies don’t raise their employees’ wages (or maybe they raise it a tiny amount) 4. Companies say “We can’t AFFORD to pay you more.” 5. Companies announce “Record profits! We are killing it! Damn we are great!” 6. Companies say “Oh .. but those profits are ‘special’ money. That money can’t be spent on wages. No no no. That money is a different kind of money altogether – why, it’s printed on special pink and orange striped paper that can’t be used for wages, sorrrrryyyy!”
So they can donate more to Unification Church?
Lolllling all the way not to the bank.
In my opinion I believe tax laws need to be more progressive. Invest in the younger generation. Invest in innovation.
Japan is a wonder country with such rich culture. I just hope cracks in the foundation can be fixed before it’s too late.
Do it cowards.

Good luck. If the government were serious about this issue, they’d mandate it.
Let’s see how that goes.
Just had my salary increased, so I doubt I’ll get another one so shortly after.
Good luck lmao.
Didn’t they, like…try that before?
And how did that work out?
