The salaries of India's blue- and grey-collar workforce have increased by 23 per cent over the past two years, reflecting the growing demand and opportunities for the skilled workforce, a report said on Tuesday.

The overall salaries have grown by 23 per cent in just two years, reflecting the rising demand and opportunities for India's blue and grey-collar workforce, WorkIndia's Salary Report 2025 stated.

However, the report revealed that male workers witnessed a faster pace of salary growth at 9 per cent, compared to women workers at 6 per cent, highlighting the persistence of gender pay inequality.

Meanwhile, non-metro cities have emerged as growth engines, recording an average 14 per cent increase in salaries, outpacing metro cities where salaries rose by 10 per cent, it said.

Full-time employment continued to see steady salary increases of 10-15 per cent each year, while part-time jobs experienced volatility, with a massive 32 per cent jump in 2024, followed by a 12 per cent dip in 2025.
