Base salaries for regular workers in Japan rose by a record, a further indication of progress toward a positive economic cycle that will support market speculation of a near-term rate hike by the central bank.

 

Base pay for full-time workers increased by 2.8% in October from a year ago, the biggest gain for comparable data back to 1994, the labor ministry reported Friday.
