How to Read This Country Page
Three boundaries keep wage and price comparisons from being misread.
- Wage basis
- The annual wage is expressed in USD PPP at constant 2025 prices. It is an average, not a median wage, local-currency amount, or take-home figure.
- Years stay separate
- The latest wage year and the price year do not have to match. Price controls read only 2022, 2023, or 2024 and never substitute another year.
- Price benchmark
- 100 represents the United States price level. A value of 120 is reported here as 20 index points above that benchmark.
Data Coverage and Limits
See which years are actually present before comparing wage and price records.
Wage observations span 31 years from 1994 through 2025, comprising 32 reported data points. This extensive history supports long-term trend analysis across three distinct decades.
Price data availability is currently restricted to the 2024 reference year alone. Earlier periods lack the necessary category values for comprehensive consumer cost assessment.
The dataset combines continuous wage records with intermittent price observations. Users should account for these differing coverage spans when evaluating economic indicators.
