A recent survey conducted by the China Youth Daily showed that 85 percent of those interviewed said their salary increases were less than the country's average annual growth rate: 12 percent,according to National Statistics Bureau. Figures show the country is going through its fastest-ever period of growth since it began opening up 30 years ago. The annual wages of an average worker rose from 12,422 yuan in 2002 to 21,001 yuan in 2006, the survey said. Going against the trend, 7 percent of those polled said their salaries had fallen over the four-year period. Of the 1,604 people interviewed, 64 percent said their salary rises could not match the economic development. "My colleagues and I all questioned the 12 percent increase. It's just not real," Zhang, a software engineer with a leading IT company in Beijing, said. "Most of us get a pay rise of about 400 yuan a year. Some haven't had a rise for two years." Zhang said his pay rises were nothing compared to the rising prices of consumer goods. In terms of who or what contributes most to the average growth of annual salaries, the survey showed that 50 percent people pointed to monopoly industries, 41 percent to companies' management teams, and 8.1 percent to ordinary employees. According to the China Economic Times, in 2005, some 8 percent of the country's workforce, most employed by major State-owned companies, earned 55 percent of the total salaries. The remaining 92 percent must be those who said their salaries didn't rise. 點擊查看更多雙語新聞 (China Daily)

《中國青年報》最近開展的一項全國性調查顯示，85%的受訪者認為我國工資的增幅低于國家統計局統計的工資年平均增長率12%。 統計數據顯示，目前我國正處于改革開放30年以來發展最快的階段。 調查顯示，一名普通工人的年薪從2002年的12422元漲至2006年的21001元。 另有7%的受訪者稱他們的工資水平在這四年內不漲反跌。 在1604名受訪者中，64%的人認為他們的工資漲幅與經濟發展不相稱。 北京一家著名IT公司的軟件工程師張先生說：“我和同事對這12%的工資增幅感到很疑惑，覺得這個數據并不真實。” “我們大多數人的工資都是一年漲400元。有些人的工資甚至兩年都不漲。” 他說，他漲的工資與不斷上漲的物價相比幾乎算不得什么。 調查顯示，50%的受訪者認為壟斷行業對年平均工資漲幅的拉動最大，41%的人認為是公司的管理層，8.1%的人認為是普通員工。據《中國經濟時報》，2005年，我國大約8%的勞動者掙的工資占全國工資總額的55%，其中大多數人是國企員工。 剩下的92%應該是那些稱工資未漲的人。 （英語點津姍姍編輯）
