Resumen
En primer lugar, debemos aclara que existe una diferencia entre el salario monetario y el salario real. El salario monetario es una cantidad de dinero que recibe el rebajador cada semana, cada quince días o cada mes. Sin embargo, conociendo el salario monetario, estamos a medio camino para conocer cual es la capacidad adquisitiva dé esa cantidad de dinero. Necesitamos conocer la evolución de los precios para saber cuanto se puede comprar efectivamente con el salario monetario. Esto nos lo dice el salario real, ya que este mide la cantidad de productos que se pueden comprar con un salario nominal, eliminando el efecto de los aumentos de precios.
Los empleados públicos se han dado cuenta de que su salario real ha disminuido porque su salario normal se mantuvo igual, mientras los precios estuvieron creciendo. Por esta razón, desde principios del del año iniciaron las gestiones para conseguir aumentos de sus salarios nominales que compensaran los aumentos de los precios, con los que buscaran mantener igual su salario real.
First of all, we must clarify that there is a difference between monetary salary and real salary. The monetary salary is an amount of money that the cutter receives every week, every fifteen days or every month. However, knowing the monetary salary, we are halfway to knowing what the purchasing power of that amount of money is. We need to know the evolution of prices to know how much can be effectively purchased with the monetary salary. The real salary tells us this, since it measures the quantity of products that can be purchased with a nominal salary, eliminating the effect of price increases. Public employees have realized that their real salary has decreased because their normal salary remained the same, while prices were rising. For this reason, since the beginning of the year they began efforts to obtain increases in their nominal salaries that would compensate for price increases, with which they sought to keep their real salaries the same.
