\nHi Blog. \u00a0Have you ever wondered what the minimum wage is in Japan? \u00a0Well, guess what, it depends. \u00a0On the prefecture. \u00a0On the industry. \u00a0On the industry within the prefecture too.<\/p>\n

Now, before you throw up your arms in anguish and wonder how we’ll ever get an accurate measure, along comes the GOJ with a clickable minimum wage map by prefecture and industry. \u00a0You can have a look and see where people on the bottom rung of the ladder are earning the least and most. \u00a0Found this while researching the PhD. \u00a0To quote Spock, “Fascinating.”<\/p>\n

Here’s a partial screen capture of it. \u00a0It’s very well organized. \u00a0They’ve made it real easy even in terms of language. \u00a0See, when the GOJ really wants you to have the information, they do a pretty good job of it.<\/p>\n

Of course, when I say “on the bottom rung of the ladder”, I mean citizens. \u00a0There are however, tens of thousands of people (i.e. NJ “Trainees”) who don’t qualify for the labor-law protections of a minimum wage. \u00a0They get saddled with debts and some make around 300 yen an hour, less than half the minimum minimum wage for Japanese. \u00a0See more here<\/a><\/strong>, here<\/a><\/strong>, and here<\/strong><\/a>.
