Here is the report from Chinese Academy of Social Sciences on the standard monthly wages of white-collar workers in China. Surprisingly, Lhasa, the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region is listed at the bottom with 900RMB($130)/month. As 18,500RMB($2,700) per month, Hong Kong is listed on the top line. Beijing and Shanghai, with 5,000RMB and 5,350 are grouped in the second level.

But then,,just after few days on Xinhua News and released by National Bureau of Statistics of China on average wage level cross China. Tibet(32,436RMB) rank the top three, with Beijng(39,663RMB) on the first and Shanghai(39,004RMB) on the second place.

I am not quite sure how these calculation been done and where were these data source from? Interestingly, the article also listed top three average wage level in different sectors. The financial industry, is considered as the top industry, and followed by IT on the second and electric power, gas, water production and supply on the third place. It is almost impossible that Tibet could make average wage as higher as than Guangfdong or Nanjing, or even Sichuan, given these sectors are just rising industry in Tibet. But then....What is What? True things are false, for if the things be true

各省市工资水平排序 北京上海西藏居前三名

据国家统计局反馈的资料,截止到今年三季度末,江苏城镇单位在岗职工平均工资水平仍然位居北京(39663元)、上海(39004元)、西藏(32436元)、天津(27687元)、浙江(23603元)、广东(23078元)之后,在全国各省(自治区、直辖市)中排列第7位。

不同的行业,职工平均工资也存在差距。前三季度排在前三位的依次为:金融业42838元,信息传输、计算机服务和软件业36600元,电力、燃气及水的生产和供应业35380元。

What do you think? Is Xinhua true?

Can you please post link to the Xinhua report.

Xinhua could be true! But I am not convinced. 按国家《劳动统计制度》规定,劳动统计的范围是对城镇单位进行统计,不包括私营单位和个体工商户。全市职工平均工资是统计部门根据城镇单位上报的劳动情况表汇总计算而来,用各个单位的工资总额相加除以全部职工人数,计算出职工平均工资。so, here again the government data, http://www.allcountries.org/china_statistics/5_3_number_of_employed_persons_at.html, it is obvious, the secondary and tertiary industries of Tibet are listed at bottom. we all know where the most of people live and how they earn a living..

then so called "white-collar workers" (¥900), Who are they really? I cannot think of any... But, "the middle class" in Lhasa! However, is there a middle class in China??

如果西藏因为矿业而增长了排名我很难过……

出了一个有着无数光环的王木匠,有了一个杨佳踏上不归路的故事,对国内琳琅满目的排名我真没什么信心了,更何况是关于西藏的,关于资源的....
