The average monthly salary in Israel at the end of 2022 was NIS 12,120, up 2.8% from 2021, the Central Bureau of Statistics reports. However, adjusted for inflation the average salary would have been only NIS 10,858, down 1.5% compared with 2021.
However, in 2022 the labor force participation rate rose, as a considerable part of the workers with low labor productivity who were laid off due to Covid rejoined the workforce.
In 2022, the number of salaried jobs increased by 8.8% compared with 2021, to 3.94 million, with the return of workers with low labor productivity lowering the average wage.
