Japan's real wages fell for 25 consecutive months, and the sharp wage increase in April failed to outperform inflation.
On June 5, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare released the "Monthly Diligence Statistical Survey" flash report, which showed that Japan's per capita wage rose by 2.1% year-on-year in April this year, a significant increase from March, and has risen for 28 consecutive months, but still failed to outperform prices, and real wages fell by 0.7% year-on-year in April, which has fallen for 25 consecutive months, once again refreshing the longest consecutive decline record after the global financial crisis in 2007.
In April this year, Japan's major companies raised wages sharply after the annual collective labor talks, but so far they have only reduced the rate of decline in real wages, and have not reversed the situation in which wages have not risen enough to raise prices.
After the earthquake that struck the Noto Peninsula on New Year's Day this year, some of the penguins at the Noto Island Aquarium were evacuated to the Sumida Aquarium in Tokyo.
In order to get the penguins used to their new living environment, the aquarium will allow them to take a walk around the aquarium before it opens. At first, the penguins were wary of feeding them food, but after a few months they have gradually adapted to their new life.
