Wage Growth - Low And Slow!

Wage Growth - Low And Slow!

It has been an interesting week with the announcement that the average Australian wage is barely enough to cover the costs of living. While 50% of this is possibly just parliamentary propaganda, there is often some truth behind their statements.

This got me thinking of how the struggling average Australian can benefit from low wage growth.

Going through historical wage growth records, you can clearly see the decline in wage growth starting in late 2012.

But why is wage growth so low? Well, it can be observed that slow or low wage growth is directly associated with unemployment. The property sector, for example, has seen a massive reduction in property sales, from the investor market this year.

This slow down has seen developers and builders shut their doors which as we know causes them to lay off staff, contractors, salespeople and many others, forcing them into unemployment. The decline in wage growth in late 2012 follows the trend where the unemployment rate begins to increase.

We also see the trend of high inflation leading to higher wage growth and inversely periods of low inflation lead to slower wage growth. So how do you protect your income in periods of low inflation, Property! It seems so simple and yet it is vital you are wise, continuing to buy the right properties. On average nine out of ten investors don’t invest wisely, and subsequently, Australia Tax Office records show that 90% of property owners reach retirement age owning only two or fewer properties.
