Average salaries in the Basque Country were under control in 2022 with average increases of between 3% and 4%, compared to the price increase of 5.7%, according to data from the latest Euskadi Salary Guide prepared by the consultancy LKS Next, in collaboration with i3s . The report collects data on the gross fixed remuneration in the last year of 86 professional profiles.
For the second consecutive year, profiles linked to new technologies and engineering are the ones experiencing the highest salary growth, although the study warns that the crisis of technology profiles in 2023 could change this trend.
The director of the People Consulting area of LKS Next, Ander Sansinenea, has emphasized that “we are witnessing a containment of wages in the Basque Country, with average increases of between 3% and 4%, below the cost of living, which last year was the highest in three decades, with an increase of 5.7%”.
Sansinenea has pointed to the current uncertainty that exists in the remuneration of ICT functions and ensured that “we cannot ignore the fact that they have experienced significant pay increases due to the strong demand in the field of digitization, but this aspect could change in the face of mass layoffs from the big tech companies that started in the United States and are already spreading across Europe”. Similarly, positions related to engineering are also “other of the most required roles, which in turn are characterized by their high qualification and constant salary growth”.
Regarding the number of hirings, he explained that “the trend of equalization between the factors of the salary package, opportunities for professional growth, job security and reconciliation between personal and professional life when choosing a job continues.” “In his view, organizations no longer focus exclusively on technical training and professional experience, but increasingly value the motivation of the person and their personal skills.”
