More business school graduates had received a salary increase than before. Now 78% of respondents say their salary has risen in the past year, compared to 72% a year ago.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This phenomenon is caused by general increases in collective agreements. Well over half, 65%, had received a salary increase due to the general increase. Last year, the corresponding figure was 54%, and one year back, 48%.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018If 25,000 business school graduates had each tried to negotiate at least a 3.5% pay rise for themselves, would they have succeeded? The general increases have had a big impact on the pay packet of business school graduates year after year. With last year’s inflation figures, purchasing power would have waned briskly without the general increases\u2019, says Labour Market Director Riku Salokannel<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
