In August 2022 the average monthly salary was NIS 12,285, up by NIS 414 from August 2021. However, when offset against the Consumer Price Index over the same period and adjusted accordingly the average salary fell by 0.4% and stood at NIS 10,890 in August 2022.

According to preliminary figures from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the average salary in September 2022 was NIS 12,205, a slight fall from August 2022 but 4.6% higher than September 2021, without adjustment for inflation.

The number of salaried employees in Israel's economy in September was 4,143,000, according to initial estimates, up 7.1% from the previous year but down 0.6% from August 2022.
