Israel's average monthly salary increased by approximately 4% in July, reaching 14,448 shekels for Israeli employees and 14,121 shekels when including foreign workers, according to data released by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). This rise is attributed to "recovery days" granted during that period, which boosted the average wage. The data compares July's figures to those from August 2025.
In August, there were 4.4 million salaried employees in Israel, a 2% decrease from July but a 1.8% increase compared to August 2025. The high-tech sector saw a slight contraction, with 397,000 employees in July, a 0.2% drop from June and a 0.3% decrease from July 2025. Despite the reduction in jobs, the average salary in high-tech actually rose by 2.3% in July compared to the previous year, standing at 34,301 shekels, up from 33,520 shekels in July 2025.
