More people are starting to get a pay rise, but the average wage increases are about the same. About 56 per cent got a pay rise in the March year, up from 53 per cent in the December year. www.stuff.co.nz	somebody (208)

I guess the company I work for wasn't one of these who gave a pay rise last year or for about the past 6 years..	paulw (1826)

But some bank economists say after tax cuts and lower mortgage rates, people are better off than a year ago. Labour cost index figures show salary and wage rates rose 1.9 per cent in the year to March, inching up from the 1.7 per cent in the year to December. Inflation is running at 4.5 per cent, with consumers hit again by higher petrol prices yesterday, up to a record of almost $2.22 a litre.	pctek (84)
