By province, which provinces have higher average wages?

The average salary of 16 provinces was released last year

According to statistics from First Financial News, 16 provinces have released data on the average salary of urban employment in 2022. Among them, the average salary of non private employment personnel in urban areas of Zhejiang and Jiangsu in the east has exceeded 120000 yuan. From the perspective of industry categories, the top three industries for non private unit income vary in each province, with information transmission, software, and information technology services leading the way in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and other regions; In Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Heilongjiang and other regions, the average wage of the mining industry leads the way.

It should be noted that in the wage statistics survey, non private legal entities include state-owned units, collective units, joint venture economy, joint-stock economy, foreign investment economy, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan investment economy, etc. Overall, the average salary of non private units is significantly higher than that of private units. Currently, out of the 16 provinces surveyed, only a few provinces have released data on non private sector employment. In addition, the industry specific wages announced in Sichuan include both non private and private sector employees.

Data shows that out of 16 provinces, 7 provinces have an average wage of over 100000 yuan for urban non private sector employees, with Zhejiang and Jiangsu exceeding 120000 yuan.

Annual average salary of employed personnel in 16 provinces

According to data released by the Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Statistics, in 2022, the average annual salary of non private sector employees in Zhejiang Province was 128825 yuan, an increase of 6516 yuan or 5.3% compared to 2021. After deducting price factors, the actual increase was 3.1%; The average annual salary of private sector employees was 71934 yuan, an increase of 2706 yuan or 3.9% compared to the previous year. After deducting price factors, the actual increase was 1.7%.

According to data released by the Jiangsu Provincial Bureau of Statistics, in 2022, the average annual salary of non private urban employees in Jiangsu Province was 121724 yuan. Among them, the average annual salary of non private urban employees is 124175 yuan. In 2022, the average annual salary of urban private sector employees was 71835 yuan.

In addition, the average salary of urban non private sector employees in Chongqing, Yunnan, Shandong, Sichuan, and Inner Mongolia has also exceeded 100000 yuan.

At the same time, there is a significant difference in average wages among different regions within the province, with income levels in many central cities and provincial capitals being significantly higher than those in small and medium-sized cities. Taking Guangxi as an example, in 2022, Nanning, Liuzhou, and Fangchenggang ranked among the top three cities in terms of average annual wages for urban non private employment in Guangxi; Laibin City, Wuzhou City, and Yulin City rank last three.

In Shanxi, the average annual salary of non private urban employees in the provincial capital Taiyuan exceeded 100000 yuan, reaching 103008 yuan, making it the only prefecture level city in the province with such a figure exceeding 100000 yuan.

Associate Professor Ding Changfa from the Department of Economics at Xiamen University analyzed that in general, the headquarters economy of central cities is more prominent. For example, in central and western provinces, the headquarters of large enterprises are mainly concentrated in provincial capital cities; Financial, educational, and medical centers are also located in the provincial capital; In terms of industrial structure, the modern service industry in central cities is developed, and overall, there are more high-income industries and positions.

Of course, some provinces also have cities with the highest average wages that are not provincial capitals or non planned cities. For example, among the districts and cities in Hebei Province, Langfang, adjacent to Beijing, had an average annual salary of 108431 yuan for non private urban employees in 2022, making it the only district and city in Hebei Province to exceed 100000 yuan last year. In Gansu, the three cities and prefectures with the highest average annual salary for urban non private sector employees in 2022 are Gannan Prefecture at 100720 yuan, Jiayuguan City at 100406 yuan, and Lanzhou City at 97647 yuan.

In Inner Mongolia, the city with the highest average salary is not Hohhot, but the coal rich city of Ordos. Last year, the average annual salary of non private urban employees in Ordos reached 118473 yuan, leading Inner Mongolia. Data shows that in 2022, the per capita GDP of Ordos City reached 256908 yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 4.4% after deducting price factors, and a nominal growth rate of 17.78%. Based on the average exchange rate in 2022, it was converted to 38196 US dollars.

There are significant industry differences, and mining industry revenue dominates in multiple provinces

The gap between different industries is also significant. From a national perspective, in 2022, whether in non private urban units or private units, the top three industries with average annual wages for employed individuals are information transmission, software and information technology services, finance, scientific research, and technology services.

However, from a regional perspective, there are significant differences in the top three industries with average wages among non private urban units in various provinces. Among the 19 industries of urban non private units in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Chongqing, Hubei, Hebei, Shaanxi, and Shandong, the industry with the highest average wage for employed personnel is information transmission, software, and information technology services. In addition, among all urban units in Sichuan Province, the top industries are also information transmission, software, and information technology services.

Among them, in non private urban units in Zhejiang, the average salary of employees in the information transmission, software, and information technology service industries exceeds 280000 yuan, which is far ahead in various industries. Tang Hairu, Vice Chairman of the Expert Committee of the Hangzhou Planning Commission, analyzed that the high income of Zhejiang's information transmission, software, and information technology services industry is mainly related to the development of Zhejiang's digital economy, which is developing very rapidly. The provincial capital Hangzhou proposed to build the "first city of digital economy", with highly developed e-commerce and digital economy, gathering leading enterprises and a large number of talents.

Taking the software industry as an example, data shows that Hangzhou achieved software business revenue of 825.88 billion yuan last year, accounting for 87.9% of the province. In 2022, the average number of workers employed in the software industry in Zhejiang Province reached 505000, with an average salary of 319000 yuan per person.

The salaries in the finance and mining industries are also relatively high. In 16 provinces, the financial industry ranks first in average wages among urban non private units in 2 provinces, second in 3 provinces, and third in 2 provinces.

According to national data, the mining industry has not entered the top three industries with average wages, but in some provinces, especially those with prominent resource-based industries, the average wages of the mining industry are among the top. Among the 16 provinces, the mining industry has the highest income among non private urban units in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Gansu, Heilongjiang, and Anhui.

In May of this year, Wang Pingping, Director of the Population and Employment Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, interpreted the average wage data of urban employment in 2022, stating that the average wage growth rate of non private and private urban units in industries such as mining, information transmission, software and information technology services, and finance was relatively high. Wang Pingping analyzed that due to factors such as the rise in international energy prices, the average wages of employees in two types of mining units increased by 12.0% and 9.3% respectively in 2022.

According to data from the Inner Mongolia Bureau of Statistics, in 2022, the average annual salary of urban non private sector employees in Inner Mongolia was 100990 yuan, breaking the 100000 yuan mark for the first time, with a year-on-year increase of 11.7% and a growth rate of 5.7 percentage points faster than the previous year. Among the urban non private units, the coal mining and washing industry, oil and natural gas mining industry, etc. are driven by the price rise, the coal supply guarantee policy and other factors, and the average annual wages are more than 160000 yuan.

Overall, in the past two years, due to the influence of domestic and foreign energy patterns, energy prices have risen, and GDP growth in provinces and cities dominated by the energy industry has been relatively fast. Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Ningxia rank among the top ten in terms of GDP growth rate.

Professor Lin Boqiang, Dean of the China Energy Policy Research Institute at Xiamen University, believes that the main reason for the rapid growth of provinces and cities dominated by the energy industry last year was the rise in energy prices. And this trend will continue for a while because energy prices are currently at a relatively high level. He believes that cities with outstanding energy development, although currently experiencing rapid economic growth and good momentum, should also undergo early transformation and layout, accelerate industrial diversification, and increase their ability to resist risks in the future.
