【Survey Overview】

◆ The average hourly wage in June 2026 was 1,296 yen, maintaining a high level. The [Security, Cleaning, and Facility Management] sector reached a record high of 1,225 yen, ahead of summer events.

The national average hourly wage in June 2026 was 1,296 yen, up 1 yen from the same month last year, maintaining a high level.

By job category (broad classification), [Sales, Customer Service, and Hospitality], which is highly influenced by inbound demand (e.g., hotels, electronics retailers), reached 1,249 yen (up 8 yen from the previous month, up 67 yen year-on-year), setting a new record high. Continued strong demand for personnel, driven by steadily recovering inbound tourism, may be contributing to rising hourly wages.

Additionally, [Security, Cleaning, and Facility Management] reached 1,225 yen (up 17 yen from the previous month, up 47 yen year-on-year), also a record high. This sector continues to face chronic labor shortages, and increased demand for security services ahead of summer fireworks festivals and various events may have prompted companies to raise wages to secure personnel for the busy season.

Compared to the previous month, 8 out of 16 job categories increased, 7 decreased, and 1 remained unchanged. Year-on-year, 12 categories increased and 4 decreased. [Figures 1, 2]

◆ 'Hokkaido-Tohoku (1,192 yen)' and 'Kyushu-Okinawa (1,193 yen)' are over 100 yen below the national average, highlighting regional disparities in wage levels

By region, the 'Hokkaido-Tohoku' area recorded an average hourly wage of 1,192 yen, down 14 yen from the previous month and the lowest among the seven regions. Next, 'Kyushu-Okinawa' was 1,193 yen (down 8 yen from the previous month), over 100 yen below the national average (1,296 yen). In these regions, minimum wages tend to be among the lowest nationwide. A high proportion of part-time workers reported feeling the regional disparities in minimum wages※1, suggesting that a significant number of workers are aware of wage differences across regions.

◆ [This Month's Topic] Focus on Nagasaki Prefecture, where a large semiconductor-related plant is scheduled to begin operations on September 1. The [Food and Beverage], [Sales, Customer Service, and Hospitality], and [Light Labor] sectors all reached record highs

Focus was placed on Nagasaki Prefecture, where the operation of a large semiconductor-related plant is scheduled to begin on September 1.

Nagasaki Prefecture's average hourly wage was 1,204 yen, down 14 yen from the previous month and down 29 yen year-on-year.

However, focusing on the gap with the prefectural minimum wage, it narrowed from 280 yen in the same month last year to 173 yen, indicating that the disparity between average hourly wages and minimum wages has decreased compared to the previous year.

By job category, [Food and Beverage (1,118 yen)], [Sales, Customer Service, and Hospitality (1,125 yen)], and [Light Labor (1,165 yen)] all reached record highs. While the overall average hourly wage was below the previous year, wage increases were observed in certain job categories.

In the future, with the operation of a large semiconductor-related plant scheduled in Nagasaki Prefecture, attention will be focused on its impact on the local employment environment and wage trends. [Figures 6, 7]

【Survey Analyst Comment】

The average hourly wage in June 2026 reached 1,296 yen, maintaining a high level. Particularly, [Security, Cleaning, and Facility Management] set a new record high, likely due to rising demand from summer events, chronic labor shortages, and efforts to secure and retain personnel.

Additionally, 'Hokkaido-Tohoku' and 'Kyushu-Okinawa' showed gaps of over 100 yen compared to the national average (1,296 yen). In recent years, there has been a trend of workers taking 'cross-regional part-time jobs' in areas with higher hourly wages※1, suggesting that wage differences between regions and prefectures may influence employment behavior.

We will continue to monitor how the upcoming revision of the 2026 minimum wage, currently under discussion, will affect average hourly wages and regional wage disparities from October onward.
