  Pay rise for majority of Singaporeans in 2011
  
  

  MORE than 82 per cent of people working in Singapore received a salary increase in 2011, according to a global survey of 3,200 professionals conducted by Robert Walters.

  Results from the survey reveal that 40 per cent of those surveyed received a pay rise of between 1 to 5 per cent, 20 per cent received between 6 and 10 per cent, 14 per cent received between 11 and 20 per cent and 8 per cent received more than 21 per cent.

  Says Andrea Ross, managing director at Robert Walters Singapore and Malaysia: 'After coming off such a strong year of economic growth in 2010 in Singapore, it was not surprising that the salary levels increased across all sectors. The large increases in 2011 predominately came from the non-financial services industry, as salaries within the financial services sector had a sharp increase last year (2010).'

  She adds: 'Another factor contributing to the increase in salaries at the start of the year would be an added focus of companies in trying to retain their top talent by providing competitive remuneration.'

  The survey also reveals that, globally, economies in Asia saw the highest pay rises - 45 per cent of respondents from China, 26 per cent of respondents in Thailand, 24 per cent of respondents in Malaysia, 22 per cent of respondents in Singapore and 21 per cent of respondents received salary increases greater than or equal to 10 per cent.

  Comparatively, a large proportion of professionals in western nations reported receiving no pay rise at all during 2011 - 65 per cent in Ireland, 49 per cent in New Zealand, 39 per cent in Belgium and 35 per cent in Australia.

  Pay rise for majority of Singaporeans in 2011 MORE than 82 per cent of people working in Singapore received a salary increase in 2011 -   according to a global survey of 3,200 professionals conducted by Robert Walters

  In statistics sense this is wrong !!!

  1) 3,200  globally = hello how many is real singaporean = 200+  ? too small a sample size to represent the whole singapore population of over 4 millions !!!

  2) professionals = this sample only limited to professional - which is too narrow to represent the different working classes !!!

  You be the judge !!!
