在一项为期26年的挪威研究中,工资增长,而不是投资,推动了大多数收入增长。 Wage growth, not investments, drove most income gains in a 26-year Norwegian study.

对近30万挪威人进行的26年研究发现,工资增长是收入向上流动的主要驱动力,95%的人通过工资增长单独或投资提高工资。 A 26-year study of nearly 300,000 Norwegians found that wage increases were the main driver of upward income mobility, with 95% of those who advanced doing so through salary growth, either alone or with investments. 单靠投资,仅增长5%。 Only 5% rose through investments alone. 提高工资者的平均工资收益为31 000美元,而投资收入仅为308美元。 Average wage gains for those who advanced were $31,000, compared to just $308 in investment income. 在金融下滑期间,资本损失比工资削减在向下流动中的作用更大。 During financial declines, capital losses played a larger role than wage cuts in downward mobility. 调查结果显示,工资稳定增长对大多数人的长期财政进步的影响大于投资回报。 The findings suggest steady wage growth is more impactful than investment returns for most people’s long-term financial progress.
