NEARLY 70 percent of Shanghai residents polled said their salaries did not increase last year, but most of them think a pay raise is likely this year, the Shanghai Statistics Bureau revealed today.
Only 29 percent respondents acknowledged a pay raise in 2010; 50.4 percent said their salaries remained unchanged; 8.2 percent reported a drop in salary, and the rest 5 percent said they were unaware of salary changes.
The bureau made the online poll on 2,531 people, with nearly half earning between 2,001 yuan (US$303) and 4,000 yuan. The result showed many of them were dissatisfied with their salaries.
"Poor performance of companies in the wake of the global financial crisis was the main reason for less pay to some residents," the bureau said. "Complaints of slow salary increase and growing gaps among different companies should draw due attention of the government."
The survey found 43.2 percent of respondents working in foreign-invested firms said their salaries increased in 2010 from a year earlier, much more than their counterparts in state-owned companies and private firms, representing 21.6 and 26.9 percent respectively.
