THE average monthly household income of Singaporeans rose by 9.6 per cent to $6,280 in 2007 - the fast growth over the last decade, spurred by better wages on the back of a robust economy and a tight labour market.
But reflecting the widening income gap, higher-income households continued to take home more pay, with higher wage increases for skilled and knowledge workers, according to a paper on key household income trends in 2007 released by the Singapore Department of Statistics on Wednesday.
So I ponder for a moment and wonder if I should walk up to my boss and asked if he has given the wrong letter on salary adjustment to me last year...
Are you the one with 9.6% ??
