我國7省市上調今年最低工資標準

Statistics indicate China's yearly minimum wage increase appears to be slowing, and the increases are unevenly distributed across the country, the China Economic Weekly reports.

《中國經濟週刊》近日報道，數據顯示，我國年度最低工資標準增幅似乎有所下降，且全國各地的最低工資標準增幅參差不齊。

Seven provinces and municipalities including Shandong, Shanghai, and Tianjin announced their minimum wage increases for 2016 on May 26.

5月26日，山東、上海、天津等7個省市宣佈上調今年最低工資標準。

Shanghai ranked the highest with a monthly minimum wage of 2,190 yuan ($332.66), while Qinghai ranked last with 1,270 yuan ($192.91).

上海的最低工資標準爲每月2190元（摺合332.66美元），爲全國最高，而青海的最低工資標準爲1270元（摺合192.91美元），爲全國最低。

The minimum wage is closely related to local economic output, with Qinghai's GDP also remaining among the lowest in the country.

最低工資標準與當地的經濟產量密切相關，青海的地區生產總值在全國也居於倒數行列。

In addition to the seven provinces that made adjustments this year, only 22 provinces made adjustments last year, indicating that some provinces have not adjusted their minimum wage in almost two years.

除了於今年調整這7個省市之外，去年只有22個省份進行了調整，這表明部分省份在近兩年沒有調整最低工資水平。

According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, China's minimum wage has grown an average of 13.1% annually for the past five years. Only Liaoning and Chongqing exceeded this level in their latest adjustments this year.

我國人力資源和社會保障部稱，過去5年間，我國最低工資標準年均增幅爲13.1%。今年調整的省份中，僅遼寧和重慶的最低工資標準增幅超過了這一水平。
