The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a reduction in worker wages in most Indonesian provinces. These changes in worker wages were influenced by the severity of COVID-19 transmission rates in each region. Consequently, the pandemic waves forced companies to adjust working hours, cut wages, and even lay off workers.
Bali and Bangka Belitung Islands experienced the steepest decline in worker wages. Wages in Bali fell by 17.91%, from Rp 2.98 million to Rp 2.45 million. Meanwhile, wages in Bangka Belitung Islands decreased by 16.98%, from Rp 2.93 million to Rp 2.44 million. Nationally, worker wages decreased by 5.18%.
Conversely, only 6 out of 34 provinces saw an increase in worker wages. These provinces were East Nusa Tenggara (1.96%), North Maluku (1.50%), Central Sulawesi (1.37%), Bengkulu (1.09%), Aceh (1.08%), and Yogyakarta Special Region (0.05%).
