A Japanese workers total income mainly depends on the type of Job but other factors play into the rate such as area and gender. In this video we explore how much Japanese earn, the Japan average annual income as well as detail the japan average monthly income for specific jobs in jobs in Japan. If you are interested in working in job or wondering how to get a job in Japan, then this video may be a good resource as it will provide insight on the Japan minimum wage and average salaries for specific Japanese jobs. When looking at the average salary in Japan, it's also helpful to see the average working hours in japan. I also detail the average salary for an English teacher in Japan for those who are interested. After watching this video, let me know if you think the average Japanese salary and work life is better or worse than yours. Sometimes Japanese workers and Japan work life gets a portrayed terribly in media, but based on Japan working hours it doesn't seem that bad. Also, Japan has many national Holidays in addition to a minimum of 10 paid annual leave days. Working in Japan may not be that bad, but it also depends on the company so it is important to choose wisely. The minimum wage in Japan also ranks quite hight compared to most companies and is covered in this video.

@tomassolano5601 4 года назад

Nothing against Paolo but he is taking things a little out of Context and not looking at the numbers closely, looking at averages the work day in Japan averages out to be 7.39 work hours per day, not including social work obligations like getting drinks with coworkers being more of an obligation than a choice. When you do the same math with US numbers, taking out weekends and having an average PTO of 11 days, with 8 holidays a year you get 7.26 work hours average per day. While people in the US might work more hours overall, they work more days, have shorter shifts and do not have the same social obligations of going out and drinking with coworkers, which is still somewhat like work. It is not time you can freely dispose of and have to take into account.

@robertwilsoniii2048 3 года назад

Yeah but ramen managers make 1.7x the national average salary so I guess he works longer hours for increased pay. Japan is cool because no one is privileged. Nobody gets off easy, and generally profit margins are intentionally lower on Japanese companies in order to sell things at near cost for fairness and transparency.

The Japanese might have less "on the book" work hours than the US and other countries. But culturally you are pretty much expected to work several hours "off the clock" every day, take work home and work on holidays. We had a several Japanese from our Tokyo office transfer to our Boston office, they couldn't believe it the first day when at 4:00pm everybody started packing up and leaving the office, they didn't understand what was going on, they thought there was an off-site meeting everybody was going to. Their minds were blown when we said, "Nope, we work 8 hours and then clock out. No overtime, no working from home, the second the clock hit's 4:00pm we're done, the office shuts down, the lights go off and we go home."

@gothicherie6691 3 года назад

Same for China, it’s like a race of who leaves the latest. If u leave on time means ur not hard working and doesn’t want promotion. However in US, it rly depends on the company, even tho gov regulation says otherwise, some companies would basically tell employee to block out and then still work, good companies will actually be “time to go home don’t bring work”

Having worked in Japan and the US as an engineer, I would say that engineers in Japan are significantly underpaid. In most companies they are paid the same as the non-technical staff. But in the US, engineer pay can rival that of company executives, doctors and lawyers. Even low performing engineers can earn $100k a year with high performing ones earning north of $500k.

I moved away from Tokyo to the US in 2019 and realized that the cost of living in Tokyo basically remained the same (due to deflationary and minimal inflation). While the cost of eating out in the US had grown over 50% in 20 years (rough calculation using some general comparisons - fast food meals were about 6-7 dollars back in 2000 are now around 10+ dollars today; $20 dinners are now around $30). A bowl of ramen in Tokyo today remains about 800-1000 yen, similar to that when I moved there in 2001. On a side note, I can't believe how expensive a bowl of ramen is here in Southern California, over $20 including tax and tip.

@misskizzz 2 года назад

It’s crazy how much the prices has jumped here in the US. “Dollar menus” aren’t really dollar menus anymore and you are spot on about fast food prices jumping to roughly $10 per meal! The pandemic has opened my eyes to a lot of unnecessary spending which is why I mostly eat at home now. It is more cost effective and healthier. Whatever I used to crave eating out, I learned to create my own version at home which always tastes 100x’s better than the restaurant’s because I get to choose my own seasonings.

@@ADunc10 It really depends on the company too. I work for an automotive parts company as a software engineer and the management encourages (slightly forces) employees to take vacation days and has a strict overtime scheduling in which you'd have to apply for the hours you think you'd need for that month as long as it's under 30 hours and no more should be gotten after that. Many traditional Japanese companies are starting to focus more on work-life balance and it's a good sign, imo.

@Mameshiba I don't know him, but is my case too, I'm from Colombia, 1.5 USD / hour maybe a little less. Just to put you in context, you have two work to hours to buy a small subway, not in combo, just the sandwich. One hour to buy a Coca Cola 3 Litres. One bus ride cost half hour of work. And any decent place to live in a regular neighborhood cost at least 150 USD. And I'm not in the most expensive city, in the capital, Bogotá you can expect a rise of 20% of the cost with the same salary.

Sometimes in Japan office, you need to do 'social' work with the colleague and the boss. So technically, you're off work hours, but you need to do the 'society rule' by going out to drink session or etc with the boss or client. Not doing these will mark you a 'not able to coop with the rest' title. So when you're done, you just get home, sleep, and continue work next day.

@scwirpeo 3 года назад

If it's a difference in raw numbers remember in nations like japan the cost of living can be much higher. If you have enough to make ends meet and put money aside after tax, you are successful no matter what they make somewhere else. If you really are making peanuts even in Brazil, then find a way to go where you will make what you're worth or at least where you're most happy.

@@shahrikamin4699 were talking about AVERAGE highschool teacher salary if you were paying attention. Last time I checked it was 43k. the reason its called an average is because its the average across the country, not the main cities, and especially not the highest paid schools.

I give a like but feel that every good & invested video our planets young continue to practice is an essential building of a culture those who quickly fallow might then take up as their very own. Definition is the very difference between good and bad which remains our given architecture as people because of the beautiful gift we've been given to believe. Keep up the good work but for the goodness it is and never finds any need to purchase influence nor bait for power and always find happiness humbling... Good start.

One thing to consider is the fact that most of my Japanese friends put in more hours than they need to. It's the same with my Korean friends. A lot of the time they will stay at work much later than scheduled because it looks good, even if they aren't doing anything when staying later. Especially if their bosses are still there. Same with vacations, they won't take them if their bosses don't..... I was an English teacher in Korea and we didn't stay late and we took all of our vacations. However, the middle school I taught at made it hard for me to use my paid sick leave. They made me get a doctor's note even for one day. Once they called me half way through a day I called in sick and said I rested long enough and I should come in but I didn't lol
