The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) highlighted that the daily nominal wages of national farm workers in April 2020 reached Rp55,318, a slight rise of 0.12 percent, from Rp55,254 per day in March 2020.


"The wages of national farm workers are stable and increased by 0.12 percent," BPS Head Suhariyanto remarked while holding an online press conference in Jakarta on Friday.

The BPS head believes this condition was influenced by the 0.11-percent inflation in villages in April 2020. Thus, the real wages of farm laborers tended to be stable.

Suhariyanto remarked that the daily nominal wages of construction workers (non-foremen) in April 2020 increased to Rp89,675, or a rise of 0.01 percent, from Rp89,666 per day in March 2020, while real wages decreased by 0.07 percent.

The average nominal wages of hairdressers in April 2020 increased by 0.21 percent to reach Rp28,607, from Rp28,547 in March 2020. The real wages of hairdressers in April 2020 rose by 0.13 percent, to Rp27,297, from Rp27,261 in March 2020.

Furthermore, the average nominal wages of household assistants in April 2020 rose by 0.01 percent, to Rp419,780, from Rp419,739 per month in March 2020. The real wages of household assistants in April 2020 decreased by 0.07 percent, to Rp400,820, as compared to that in March 2020. (ANTARA)
