Minimum wages for 2021 fell below the national average (\u00a5930\/hr) in all prefectures in Kyushu and Okinawa, with the highest of \u00a5870\/hr in Fukuoka. Besides the very low standard of \u00a5820~822\/hr in the other seven prefectures, a national index combining minimum wages with goods prices also showed little, or no progress had been made to increase local wages. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/kumanichi.com\/articles\/690594\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kumanichi<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-146868\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_yen-coin-photoac_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kyushu\u2019s Hourly Wages Remain Low\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_yen-coin-photoac_2022_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_yen-coin-photoac_2022_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_yen-coin-photoac_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fnn_yen-coin-photoac_2022_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.photo-ac.com\/main\/detail\/24157120#goog_rewarded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo AC\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English regularly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
