2022-11-16T06:22:56.316Z


This level of wage increase roughly corresponds to that of the inflation observed at the start of 2022, but the rise in prices has since accelerated sharply, to 6.2% over one year in October.


Wages in SMEs and very small businesses (TPE) increased by 3.1% between December 2021 and June 2022, according to a barometer published on Wednesday.

The Perspectives circle, which brings together 17 accounting firms, analyzed more than 430,000 payslips with the help of the research firm Init and found that in VSEs/SMEs, the average increase in non-executive salaries, i.e. 3.14%, was stronger than those of executives, at 2.76%.

"

Usually it's the opposite

," noted in an interview with AFP Laurent Chapart, president of the Perspectives circle.

"

Traditionally in companies, we increased the high wages much more than the low wages

," he said.

Slightly higher increases for women

The increases were also slightly higher for women (3.16%) than for men (3.05%), which constitutes a "

potential catch-up

" according to accounting firms, since women's salaries are average lower than those of men.

This level of wage increase roughly corresponds to that of the inflation observed at the start of 2022, but the rise in prices has since accelerated sharply, to 6.2% over one year in October.

"

Some sectors in tension have made more efforts to attract or retain talent

," according to the barometer.

Accommodation and catering comes first with a 5.23% wage increase over the period, followed by the transport and warehousing sector (3.68%).

At the back of the pack, we find education (2.55%), as well as the human health and social action sector (2.4%).

At the geographical level, we are witnessing, according to chartered accountants, a “

gradual alignment on Ile-de-France salaries

” in SMEs/VSEs.

Thus SMEs/VSEs in Hauts-de-France (3.23%), Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (3.20%), Pays de la Loire (3.22%), Brittany (3.17 %) and Nouvelle-Aquitaine (3.17%) recorded higher wage increases than those of Ile-de-France (2.99%).

Across the Atlantic zone, there are many catering and hotel companies, which must mechanically contribute

" to a higher increase in wages in these regions, explained Laurent Chapart.

The Perspectives circle will publish a new study in February based on the same sample to take into account the increases that will take place at the start of 2023, in a context of deteriorating economic conditions but also of persistent tensions on the job market.
