Abstract

Inflation and unemployment rate are both important indicators related to a country’s macroeconomic development. Wage level is an essential factor reflecting the livelihood of a nation’s citizens. This paper adopts the method of multiple linear regression, building an econometric model to investigate the impact of inflation and unemployment rates individually and together on wage levels in China in recent 20 years. The empirical results show that there is a significant positive correlation between the unemployment rate and the average wage. One percent increase in the unemployment rate would double the average wage. There is a slight significant negative correlation between the inflation rate and wage level. It may be due to the fact that the relationship between them is non-linear. Besides, they may be influenced by other economic factors such as the social environment and market competition.
