Real Wages

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Real Wages
The wages that a person earns or that a company pays after adjusting for inflation. For example, if an employee makes $25,000 per year in both Year 1 and Year 2, but the inflation rate is 10%, that $25,000 is only worth 90% of its previous value ($22,500) in Year 2. This is good for the employer, but bad for the employee.
