This is the latest data on the average salary in the United States.
The average monthly gross salary in Slovenia increased by 0.6% in April compared to the previous month, while the real value decreased by 1.3%. The gross average salary was €2,695.03, and the net average was €1,688.55, according to data from the Statistical Office. From last year’s April to this year’s April, both nominal and real average salaries have risen, with the gross salary increasing by 6.9% nominally and 3.7% in real terms. In March, the average salary rose only in the public sector by 1.7%, while remaining nearly unchanged in the private sector. The highest average gross salary was recorded in financial and insurance activities at €3,649.39, while the lowest was in other diverse business activities at €1,986.18. The largest share of the average gross salary came from base pay (62.9%), followed by employer-paid wage supplements (18.9%), bonuses (12.4%), performance-based wages (5.5%), and business success payments (0.3%). According to calculations by the Statistical Office, if all employees were working full-time, the average gross salary would be €2,723. Under this scenario, 23.4% of employees would earn less than 1.2 times the minimum wage, half would earn less than €2,3
In June 2026, Slovenia's average monthly gross salary reached €2,695.03, while the corresponding net salary amounted to €1,688.55. These figures represent a nominal increase of 0.6 percent compared to March 2026, but when adjusted for inflation, they reflect a real decrease of 1.3 percent. This indicates that despite the slight rise in nominal wages, the purchasing power of workers has declined due to rising prices over the past few months. The data was released by the Statistical Office of Slovenia, providing insight into wage trends across both public and private sectors as well as different industries within the country.
When comparing April 2026 to April 2025, there was a notable increase in both nominal and real terms. Gross salaries rose by 6.9 percent nominally and 3.7 percent in real terms, while net salaries increased by 5.5 percent nominally and 2.3 percent in real terms. This suggests that over the course of one year, wages have grown more significantly than the rate of inflation, which could imply improved living standards for many workers. However, this growth does not evenly distribute itself across all sectors or regions.
The public sector saw a more pronounced increase in wages compared to the private sector. Specifically, the average gross salary in the public sector rose by 1.7 percent from March to April 2026, attributed partly to partial alignment of pay grades with inflation according to the Law on Common Foundations of Pay Systems in the Public Sector. In contrast, the private sector experienced little change in average salaries during the same period. This disparity highlights potential differences in how wage adjustments are managed between government-run organizations and privately owned businesses.
At the level of economic activities, the highest average gross salary was recorded in financial and insurance services, reaching €3,649.39, whereas the lowest was found in other diverse business activities at €1,986.18. This wide range underscores the varying levels of compensation across different industries, with finance and insurance typically offering higher remuneration due to their complexity and profitability.
Breaking down the structure of the average gross salary, the largest component was base pay, accounting for 62.9 percent. Additional components included employer-paid salary supplements (18.9 percent), bonuses (12.4 percent), performance-based pay (5.5 percent), and business success-related payments (0.3 percent). Notably, the proportion of employer-paid salary supplements varied significantly by industry, being highest in mining (25.5 percent) and lowest in construction (13.9 percent).
Considering hypothetical scenarios where all employees working for legal entities were employed full-time, the average gross salary would have been slightly higher at €2,723. Under this assumption, approximately 23.4 percent of employees would earn less than 1.2 times the minimum wage, half would earn below €2,300, and 64.9 percent would earn less than the average salary. Conversely, around 28.9 percent would earn more than twice the minimum wage, with a tenth earning over €4,241 and a small percentage receiving more than €8,224, highlighting significant disparities in income distribution among the workforce.
Meanwhile, in North Macedonia, similar discussions about wage increases took place. According to official statistics, the average net salary in March 2024 was 40,496 denars, increasing to 48,433 denars by March 2026. This represents an absolute increase of nearly 8,000 denars, or 19.6 percent, surpassing the 7.8 percent rise in consumer prices during the same period. After adjusting for inflation, the real increase in average salaries amounted to almost 11 percent, indicating that wage growth outpaced price increases, potentially enhancing the purchasing power of citizens.
This growth in salaries was observed across all key sectors, with the most substantial absolute increases noted in information and communication, transportation, storage, and mining. Percentage-wise, the highest growth rates were recorded in transportation, real estate activities, and education. Political representatives highlighted these developments as evidence of successful economic policies aimed at creating better-paying jobs and improving living standards.
In addition to wage discussions, infrastructure improvements also made headlines in North Macedonia. A new direct flight route connecting Ohrid to Vienna commenced operations, operated by Austria Airlines. Flights will run twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays, providing direct access to a major European hub. This expansion enhances connectivity for travelers and supports regional tourism and investment opportunities. The Ministry of Transport emphasized the strategic importance of developing aviation infrastructure, aiming to serve over 3.5 million passengers annually through both Skopje International Airport and Ohrid Airport, with plans to exceed four million passengers in subsequent years.
