Job Wage Growth Rate Rankings for June 2025

Overview of the Wage Growth Report

In June 2025, Frog Co., Ltd. (located in Chiyoda, Tokyo) published data from its analysis of job wage growth rates across different employment types. This analysis pulled data from nine major recruitment sites, including popular platforms for part-time, temporary, and full-time job postings. This report aims to provide an informative view of how wages are evolving in various job categories as the labor market continues to adjust, especially amidst wage hikes for foreign workers.

The report notes that wage increases varied significantly by employment type, showcasing:

• - Part-time positions: Wage fluctuations ranged from -2.27% to +4.84%.
• - Temporary positions: The increase ranged from -1.71% to +0.79%.
• - Full-time roles: The growth was a modest -0.10% to +1.71%.

Noteworthy Wage Trends in Part-Time Roles

Examining part-time job categories reveals interesting trends. The highest wage growth was recorded in the entertainment and event sectors, specifically in roles related to video/event/entertainment/campaigns, which saw an increase of +4.84%. Construction and civil engineering came in second with +4.39%, while education and sports roles followed at +3.04%.

In stark contrast, the administrative, sales, and planning roles experienced the most significant decline, showing a decrease of -2.27%.

Insights from the Past Year

The upward trend in the entertainment sector can be attributed to a surge in high-paying job listings by specific security firms in mid-2024. However, this spike was later followed by a drop due to the expiration of high-paying live-streaming job offers, causing wages to stabilize thereafter.

Meanwhile, administrative roles maintained an average wage of over ¥1,200 without notable variations.

Updates on Temporary Roles

For temporary job categories, creative roles (non-web) topped the list with a slight increase of +0.79%. On the flip side, the sales, service, and retail sectors showed a decline of -1.71%, mostly due to terminated high-paying listings.

Despite the hurdles, the creative sector has consistently maintained a solid average wage of over ¥1,800 over the past year.

Full-Time Employment Wage Insights

The full-time positions reflected similar trends with the entertainment sector again taking the lead, showing a wage growth of +1.71%, translating to an increase of ¥5,002. The creative industry (web) reported a significant rise of ¥3,197, while the amusement sector followed closely with an increase of ¥1,935.

However, not all sectors fared well. The hospitality and bridal sectors saw the least growth, barely maintaining a wage of ¥265,000.
