Japan inflation-adjusted wages slip in Sept as price rises offset pay growth

Quick Summary:

TOKYO : Japan's inflation-adjusted wages fell for the second straight month in September, government data showed on Thursday, underlining the negative effect of persistently elevated prices on nominal pay.

The soft results came despite nominal pay showing gains and consumer inflation cooling down to the joint-slowest pace since April.

Real wages bumped into positive territory for June and July thanks to summertime bonuses.
