The average gross monthly salary in Israel fell to NIS 11,753 in May from NIS 12,026 in April, the Central Bureau of Statistics reports. The sharp fall may be due to more people into the workforce with low salaries who were furloughed during the Covid pandemic as well as the slowdown in the tech sector. The number of job vacancies in April rose by 1.1%, compared with April.
However the average gross salary in Israel in April 2022 was 4.2% higher than in April 2021, when it was NIS 11,280. But taking into account inflation, net salaries in April 2022 remained virtually unchanged at NIS 10,565, compared with NIS 10,570 in April 2021.
