薪资条上的数字略有增加，如果买到的东西比以前少，其实并没有多大帮助。南非的工薪族目前就面临着这种情况。\n\n根据追踪约210万名受薪员工的最新数据，6月份平均实发工资升至21,598兰特，比5月份略有增长。但如果剔除物价上涨因素，计算出这笔钱的实际购买力，其价值实际上仅为20,198兰特。这是大约两年来的最低水平。\n\n经济学家Elize Kruger对The Citizen表示，几个月来物价上涨的速度一直快于薪资涨幅，因此尽管人们的收入略有增加，但能够买到的东西却变少了。\n\n今年前六个月，薪资总共仅上涨了1.5%。但如果考虑到物价上涨，在同一时期内，工人的实际购买力实际上下降了2.1%。这抵消了人们在过去两年中取得的收益。\n\n燃料并不是推高物价的唯一因素。\n\nKruger指出，由政府和市镇直接设定的成本（例如电力、水费、垃圾清理费和车辆牌照费）在截至5月份的一年里上涨了13.7%。

Getting a slightly bigger number on your payslip doesn't help much if that money buys less than it used to. That's what's happening to South African salary earners right now.

New data that tracks around 2.1 million salaried workers found the average take-home pay rose to R21,598 in June, slightly up from May. But once you work out what that money can actually buy, after accounting for rising prices, it's really only worth R20,198. That's the lowest it's been in about two years.

Economist Elize Kruger told The Citizen prices have been rising faster than pay for months now, so even though people are earning a little more, they can afford less with it.

Over the first six months of this year, pay went up by just 1.5% in total. But once you account for rising prices, workers' real buying power actually dropped by 2.1% over the same period. That undoes gains people had made over the previous two years.

Fuel isn't the only thing pushing prices up.

Kruger pointed to costs that government and municipalities set directly, things like electricity, water, rubbish collection and vehicle licence fees. These went up 13.7% in the year to May.
