 Viswanath said, “Our conviction has been borne out by the fact that tier-2 cities have made great strides in salary levels due to a lot of investments in building excellent physical and social infrastructure. This is also a great indication of an exciting trend that is emerging — organisations have discovered the advantages of having a borderless, multi-faceted workforce that can deliver ‘anytime, anywhere’ work. So, we could say that work is seeking out talent in this new model, right up to tier-2 cities.”

		+	Market determined wages for similar work are significantly lower for women compared with those of men in both rural and urban India. What is worse is that the gap has widened in rural areas over the last decade though it has narrowed in the towns. These are survey findings just released by the National Statistical Office in the form of a report, Women and Men In India 2022. During April-June 2022, the time of the latest survey, the female wage rate ranged across states from just over half to 93. 7% of male wages in rural India and from just under half to 100. 8% in cities.
		+
		+	A comparison of these wages with NSSO’s 68th round report (July 2011 June2012) shows that for most states, the gender divide in wages has increased in the rural areas (in 11 of 19 large states). Urban areas, on the other hand, have witnessed a narrowing of this gap in the past decade.

		+	Bhubaneswar pays more than Hyderabad at the senior level, and Thiruvananthapuram as much as NCR at the junior level. The latest Randstad salary trend report, for the first time, included 10 tier-2 cities in its survey in addition to the usual list of India’s biggest cities. The reason? “They are emerging as future talent hubs and job creation centres,” the report says.
		+
		+	''' How the pay scales stack up '''
		+
		+	Among tier-2 cities, Chandigarh tops the chart in salaries paid for those with five or fewer years of experience (average CTC Rs 5.7 lakh per annum), even ahead of the national average for tier-1 cities — Rs 5.52 lakh. Thiruvananthapuram comes a close second, offering Rs 5.47 lakh, just as much as NCR does and more than Pune does (Rs 5.44 lakh). When tier-1 cities are also taken into account, Chandigarh offers the third highest average CTC per annum at the junior level, Rs 5.7 lakh, just behind Bengaluru (Rs 6.71 lakh) and Hyderabad (Rs 5.93 lakh). In fact, three tier-2 cities (Chandigarh, Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi) are among the top 10 cities for junior-level jobs.
		+
		+	At the mid level — that is, for those with 6-14 years of experience — Chandigarh (Rs 13.7 lakh per annum) and Thiruvananthapuram (Rs 13.44 lakh) lead among tier-2 cities, followed by Nagpur (Rs 12.71 lakh), Kochi (Rs 12.08 lakh) and Jaipur (Rs 12 lakh). Overall, Bengaluru is the best for mid-level jobs (Rs 18.06 lakh per annum), followed by Hyderabad (Rs 17.71 lakh), Mumbai (Rs 17.25 lakh), Pune (Rs 17.2 lakh) and Ahmedabad (Rs 16.73 lakh).
		+
		+	At the senior level, Bhubaneswar pays the most among tier-2 cities (Rs 31.15 lakh per annum), more than Hyderabad (Rs 29.78 lakh), Chennai (Rs 28.61 lakh) and Kolkata (Rs 28.58 lakh). Overall, Mumbai pays the most at the senior level (Rs 35.68 lakh), followed by Bengaluru (Rs 34.37 lakh), NCR (Rs 32.74 lakh) and Pune (Rs 32.29 lakh).
		+
		+	Across the board, there has been a significant jump in average salaries of the three job role hierarchies. On a national scale, the mid-level salaries are more than three times that of the junior levels (Rs 17.3 lakh and Rs 5.5 lakh, respectively), while the senior level salaries are close to twice that of the mid levels (Rs 32.5 lakh and Rs 17.3 lakh, respectively). This trend spans all locations, which shows that a high premium is placed on seniority of job levels.
		+
		+	''' Where’s the highest demand? '''
		+
		+	Advertising, marketing and public relations entered the top 6 industries list in 2021 — sixth in the junior- and mid-level roles, and third at the senior level.
		+
		+	In salaries paid, professional services rank first in the mid-level (Rs 20.5 lakh) and second in both the junior and senior levels (Rs 6.2 and Rs 37.8 lakh). There is also a high demand for and premium placed on ITeS, professional services (emerged as a vital industry post-Covid) and advertising, marketing and PR industries. Average CTCs for senior professionals in these ‘top 3’ industries (Rs 39.4, Rs 37.8 and Rs 35.8 lakh) exceed the top average CTC for the same job level in tier-1 cities (Rs 35.7 lakh).
		+
		+	Among IT professionals with an experience of 6-10 years, Hadoop specialists (Rs 24.8 lakh), testing practitioners, other than manual and automation testing (Rs 22.9 lakh), and specialty doctors (Rs 22.5 lakh) feature as the ‘top 3’ hot-skilled professionals.
		+
		+	“While IT niche skills still occupy prime positions, specialty doctors occupy the third position among the ‘hot jobs’. Healthcare is poised to occupy a top-paying industry slot in the coming years, along with professional services, IT, and internet & e-commerce — and niche skilled professionals in these industries can look forward to a fulfilling future,” said Randstad India MD & CEO Viswanath P S. Function-wise, senior accounting professionals earn most in Bengaluru followed by NCR and Ahmedabad. In HR, payroll skills at senior levels are valued most in Mumbai, Kolkata and Ahmedabad, while in legal, regulatory affairs professionals are most paid in Ahmedabad in mid and senior (after Mumbai) levels.
		+
		+	A senior data analyst in banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) is paid the most in Kolkata (Rs 20.4 lakh) while a senior investment banker in BFSI gets paid highest in Bengaluru (Rs 42.3 lakh). Kolkata is also the highest payer for architects (Rs 49.9 lakh) and civil engineers (Rs 39.5 lakh) at senior positions in the construction and infrastructure industry. Hyderabad is the highest payer for fashion/graphic/accessory designers at junior (Rs 5.9 lakh) and mid-levels (Rs 19.3 lakh) in FMCG & retail. Graphic designers in manufacturing are paid the highest in Kolkata across levels.
		+
		+	bbCould these jobs move to tier-2 cities? '''
		+
		+	Viswanath said that while the report reveals a significant jump across the board in average salaries of junior, mid- and senior-level professionals, the firm has also captured the emergence of tier-2 cities last year. “We firmly believe that they (tier-2 cities) are the future talent hubs and job-creation centres,” said Viswanath.
		+	Each city has its own set of factors pushing the trend. Vadodara, for instance. Randstad said with the increasing push being given for its real estate, healthcare and educational infrastructure, Vadodara should move up further in future. Or Bhubaneswar, where mining and steel manufacturing companies as well as the growing IT/ITeS sector are creating more opportunities and pushing up pay brackets. In Jaipur, Nagpur, Lucknow, Indore and Coimbatore, the variances (how much more or less than the standard) are higher at the junior and senior levels. This could be due to the predominance of non-IT industries in these cities, such as manufacturing, engineering and textiles, says the report.
		+
		+	Viswanath said, “Our conviction has been borne out by the fact that tier-2 cities have made great strides in salary levels due to a lot of investments in building excellent physical and social infrastructure. This is also a great indication of an exciting trend that is emerging — organisations have discovered the advantages of having a borderless, multi-faceted workforce that can deliver ‘anytime, anywhere’ work. So, we could say that work is seeking out talent in this new model, right up to tier-2 cities.”

 The government cleared a proposal to increase minimum wages in Delhi, reinforcing its official status as the highest paying city in the country .
 Once the revised wages are notified, an unskilled labourer in Delhi will get Rs 14,052--a little less than double of what a labourer in Haryana is entitled to. Trade unions and industrialists have opposed the decision, saying businesses will move to neighbouring states as cost of manufacturing will rise in Delhi.
@@ Line 276: / Line 285: @@
 However, the government has so far failed in implementing the norm. There is no mechanism to ensure that employers disburse the basic salaries and very rarely is action taken against offenders.Acknowledging it, Kejriwal said that while government employees would benefit immediately, the government will look into strengthening the monitoring of wages.
