低工资国家？

根据经合组织的数据，英国四分之一的工人属于低工资者，收入不到中位收入的三分之二。美国紧随其后，有 22.7% 的工人属于同一类别。以色列的低工资者比例也很高。在波兰和德国，这一比例较低，分别为 18.5% 和 16%。法国、挪威和新西兰等国家的低工资就业率甚至更低。相反，以色列和英国的高收入者比例也高于平均水平，高收入者的定义是收入为总工资中位数 1.5 倍或更高的人。经合组织高收入者的平均水平为 21.9%。值得注意的是，丹麦是一个例外，低工资者的比例高于高工资者。

According to OECD data, a quarter of workers in the UK qualify as low wage earners, earning less than two-thirds of the median income. The US follows closely, with 22.7% of workers in the same category. Israel also has a high proportion of low-wage earners. In Poland and Germany, the percentages are lower, at 18.5% and 16% respectively. Countries like France, Norway, and New Zealand have even lower rates of low-wage employment. Conversely, Israel and the UK also have above-average shares of high-wage earners, defined as those earning 1.5 times the median gross pay or higher. The OECD average for high-wage earners is 21.9%. Notably, Denmark is an exception, with a higher proportion of low-wage earners than high-wage earners.

Low-Wage Nations?

According to data by the OECD, a quarter of wage earners in the United Kingdom lag significantly behind median full-time earnings in their country. 24.7 percent of Brits earned less than two thirds of gross median pay, qualifying them as low wage earners in OECD statistics.

But, as Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports, in the United States, this number was not much lower at 22.7 percent. Another low-wage country identified in the figures was Israel.

In Poland and Germany, 18.5 percent and 16 percent, respectively, still earned low wage if following this definition.

Fewer low wage earners were found in France, Norway and New Zealand, with results in the single digits.

While the United States did not report the incidence of high pay, Israel's and the United Kingdom's share there was also above average at 26.4 percent and 24.0 percent, respectively.

In the OECD on average, 21.9 percent of people earned high wages - 1.5 times the median gross pay or higher - while 13.5 percent earned low pay.

Denmark was the only country with a higher share of low-wage earners - 9.8 percent - than high-wage earners - 2.5 percent (among those reporting both figures).
