On the 26th, the Gunma Regional Minimum Wage Council submitted a recommendation to the Gunma Labor Bureau to raise the minimum wage for fiscal year 2025 by 78 yen from the current level to 1,063 yen per hour. This is the largest increase since fiscal year 2002, when the hourly wage system was introduced, and marks the 22nd consecutive year of increases since fiscal year 2004. This will mark a new record high for Gunma Prefecture's minimum wage.
While the minimum wage is usually revised in October, this time the increase is so large that the effective date has been set for March 1st of next year to allow companies time to prepare.
