Average annual salaries in largest economies in Europe 1991-2023

Germany had an average salary of 62.4 thousand U.S dollars per year in 2023, the highest among the five largest European economies. Germany has consistently had the highest wages in Europe over the last thirty years, except for in 2007 and 2008 when the country was briefly overtaken by the United Kingdom. Many countries in Europe experienced a significant decrease in their average wage level following the global financial crisis of 2008, with France and Germany bucking this trend by reatining robust wage growth. While British wages have stagnated since the crash, only surpassing their 2007 level in 2019, Italian and Spanish wages have in fact fallen, driven by the macroeconomic troubles of these countries since the Eurozone crisis.

德国在2023年的人均年薪为62.4万美元，位居欧洲五大经济体之首。在过去三十年中，德国一直保持着欧洲最高的工资水平，仅在2007年和2008年，这一地位曾被英国短暂超越。2008年全球金融危机之后，许多欧洲国家的平均工资水平经历了显著下降，而法国和德国则逆势保持稳健的工资增长。尽管自金融危机以来，英国的工资停滞不前，直到2019年才超过2007年的水平，但意大利和西班牙的工资实际上已下降，这主要归因于这些国家自欧元区危机以来的宏观经济困境。
