Following the inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, government relief spending increased drastically. In his first year in office, workers in major cities were receiving benefits equal to just over one-fifth of average manufacturing wages. By 1936, relief benefits had risen to over two-fifths of the value of manufacturing wages - this also coincided with a wage increase from around 17 U.S. dollars per week in 1933 to 23 U.S. dollars in 1936, which means that the total value of relief benefits more than doubled in these years.

The analysis of real wages has a long tradition in Germany. The focus of the acquisition is on company wages, on wages of certain branches or for categories of workers as well as on the investigation of long term aggregated nominal and real wages. The study of Ashok V. Desai on the development of real wages in the German Reich between 1871 and 1913 is an important contribution to historical research on wages. The study is innovative and methodically on an exemplary level. But mainly responsible for the upswing in the historical research on wages in the 50s and 60s is an extraordinary publication by Jürgen Kuczynski. “The new historical research on wages in Germany is insolubly connected with Jürgen Kuczynski. In his broad researches the history of wages is only one section among many other themes but it is a very important one can be seen as the core piece of his work.” (Kaufhold, K.H., 1987: Forschungen zur deutschen Preis- und Lohngeschichte (seit 1930). In: Historia Socialis et Oeconomica. Festschrift für Wolfgang Zorn zum 65. Geburtstag. Stuttgart: Franz Steiner Verlag, S, 83). In his first study on long series on nominal and real wages in Germany he used a broad empirical basis and encouraged more research in this area. His weaknesses are methodological inconsistencies and a restricted representativeness. For example he includes tariff wages but also actually paid wages. Some important industries like food or textile industry are not taken into account. Wages in agriculture were often estimated but without enough material necessary for a good estimation. Wages for work at home are not regraded in the calculation of the index. The weight of cities in the calculation of the index is relatively too high compared to rural regions and therefor it leaks regional representativeness. In his study Desai uses the reports of trade associations for the Reich´s insurance office on the persons who are insured in the accident insurance and their wages as a basis for the calculation of annual nominal average wages. Desais focusses on industrial wages because only for them long term series are available. As the insurance premiums are calculated according to the income level the documents of the trade associations can be used for the calculation of an index for wages development. Desais study is also very useful regarding the calculation of a new index for costs of living based the model of a typical worker family. „F. Grumbach and H. König have used the same sources to derive indices of industrial earnings. The main differences between their series and ours are: (a) we have adopted the industrial classification followed by the Reichsversicherungsamt, while Grumbach and König have made larger industrial groups, (b) we have calculated average annual earnings, while they claim to have calculated average daily earnings (i.e. to have adjusted the annual figures for the average number of days worked per year per worker), and (c) they have failed to correct distortions in the original data” (Desai, A.V., 1968: Real Wages in Germany 1871–1913. Oxford. Clarendon Press, S. 4).

The national gross income per capita in Nigeria decreased to 1,930 U.S. dollars compared to the previous year. Therefore, 2023 marks the lowest national gross income during the observed period. Gross national income (GNI) per capita is the total value of money received by a country, from both domestic or foreign sources, divided by the midyear population. The World Bank uses a conversion system known as the Atlas method, which implements a price adjusted, three year moving average, smoothing out fluctuations in exchange rates.Find more statistics on other topics about Nigeria with key insights such as gross national income (GNI), value of personal remittances paid, and personal remittances received.

On October 29, 1929, the U.S. experienced the most devastating stock market crash in it's history. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 set in motion the Great Depression, which lasted for twelve years and affected virtually all industrialized countries. In the United States, GDP fell to it's lowest recorded level of just 57 billion U.S dollars in 1933, before rising again shortly before the Second World War. After the war, GDP fluctuated, but it increased gradually until the Great Recession in 2008. Real GDP Real GDP allows us to compare GDP over time, by adjusting all figures for inflation. In this case, all numbers have been adjusted to the value of the US dollar in FY2012. While GDP rose every year between 1946 and 2008, when this is adjusted for inflation it can see that the real GDP dropped at least once in every decade except the 1960s and 2010s. The Great Recession Apart from the Great Depression, and immediately after WWII, there have been two times where both GDP and real GDP dropped together. The first was during the Great Recession, which lasted from December 2007 until June 2009 in the US, although its impact was felt for years after this. After the collapse of the financial sector in the US, the government famously bailed out some of the country's largest banking and lending institutions. Since recovery began in late 2009, US GDP has grown year-on-year, and reached 21.4 trillion dollars in 2019. The coronavirus pandemic and the associated lockdowns then saw GDP fall again, for the first time in a decade. As economic recovery from the pandemic has been compounded by supply chain issues, inflation, and rising global geopolitical instability, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the U.S. economy.

Compared to the mid-20th century, wage increases in the United States' industrial sector did not change as drastically over the preceding 150 years. Industrial wages in the 1800s peaked in the final year of the American Civil War in 1865, and they were double the value of wages in 1830; yet wages did not exceed this value until the following century. Throughout the 1900s, however, the increase was much more pronounced; between 1943 and 1955 alone, industrial wages doubled, and quadrupled by 1972. In fact, wages in 1985 were over five times higher than they were in 1955, and ten times higher than in 1943. The only times during the 20th century when industrial wages fell was during the post-WWI recession in 1921, and again during the Great Depression in the 1930s.

In this studiy a compilation of the average earnings growth rates since 1850 on the basis of different sources is given: the yearly growth-rates of average work-income from 1850 to 1951 (according to Walther G. Hoffmann), the growth rate of average gross compensation, growth rate of gross hourly earnings of industrial workers, growth rate of gross earnings ( according to D. Schewe/K. Nordhorn, H.J. Müller und R. Skiba). Topics Timeseries available via the downloadsystem HISTAT: A.1 Die Wachstumsrate der Lohneinkommen im Deutschen Reich und in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (1850-1959) B.1 Die Entwicklung der Wachstumsrate des durchschnittlichen Lohneinkommens im Deutschen Reich und in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (1917-1967) B.2 Wachstumsrate der Lohneinkommen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (1951-1968) In der Studie werden aus verschiedenen Quellen die Wachstumsraten des Durchschnittslohns seit 1850 dargestellt, und zwar - die Wachstumsrate des jährlichen durchschnittlichen Arbeitseinkommens von 1850 bis 1951 (nach Walther G. Hoffmann), - die Wachstumsrate der durchschnittlichen Bruttoarbeitsentgelte nach der Sozialversicherung, - die Wachstumsrate der Brutto-Stundenverdienste der Industriearbeiter und - die Wachstumsrate des durchschnittlichen Lohneinkommens (nach D. Schewe/K. Nordhorn, H.J. Müller und R. Skiba). Die auf der Hoffmannschen Untersuchung fußende Berechnung der Wachstumsrate des durchschnittlichen Lohneinkommens lässt für die Zeit vor 1870 keinen durchgehenden langfristigen Trend erkennen. In den fünfziger Jahren zeigt sich ein deutlicher Anstieg auf fast 4%. Besonders starke Schwankungen nach oben und nach unten ergeben sich in den siebziger Jahren. Mit Beginn der achtziger Jahre setzt dann ein langfristig ansteigender Trend ein. Zwischen 1930 und 1935 weist die Lohnwachstumsrate negative Werte auf. In der Zeit von 1920 bis 1967 kann ein langfristig steigender Trend der Lohnwachstumsrate von der Mitte der dreißiger Jahre bis 1967 festgestellt werden (sieht man einmal von der Krisenzeit um 1930 und die ersten 6 Jahre nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ab). In dieser Zeit ist die Lohnwachstumsrate von rund 5% auf rund 8% gestiegen. Die durchschnittliche Wachstumsrate ab 1951 liegt bei rund 7,5%.

Throughout the interwar period, Nazi leaders and propaganda repeatedly put forward the bogus claim that Jews owned up to 20 percent of all wealth in Germany, despite making up fewer than one percent of the population. At this time, Jews were used as a scapegoat for Germany's economic difficulties after the First World War and during the Great Depression, and the Nazis claimed that the Jews were lining their pockets at the expense of "Aryan" Germans. Unfortunately, there are no official figures for Jewish wealth in the 1930s, and emigration tax data only gives an insight into the finances of wealthier Jews. There are, however, a range of estimates from contemporary and more recent sources, which have been used to estimate the real share of German capital that was owned by Jews. Contemporary estimates At various points in the 1930s, the media, statistical office, and central bank all claimed that the combined wealth of German Jews was somewhere between two and 20 billion Reichsmarks (RM). While these three institutions were all state run under the Nazi regime, and despite their uncertainty, some of these estimates are still treated with consideration due to the credentials of the journalists, economists, and statisticians involved. Additionally, these figures were used with the purpose of identifying just how much money the state could take from the Jewish population, therefore it was of interest for the Nazi authorities to ascertain accurate figures, and not inflate estimates for propaganda purposes. Interestingly, the estimates from the Statistical office actually increased from 1933 to 1936, despite the fact that the state had already been seizing Jewish wealth and restricting Jewish business on a large scale since 1933; this has been attributed to the economic impact of the Great Depression. Modern estimates The estimates from Junz and Ritschl were published in 2002 and 2019 respectively, and used some of the contemporary estimates in their investigation, while taking many additional factors into account. These are now some of the most widely-cited estimates on this subject, with estimates of around 8-16 billion RM in 1933, five billion RM in 1936, and 4.4 billion RM in 1938. In Ritschl's 2019 paper, he then goes on to estimate the share of total German wealth owned by Jews; his results show that the Jewish share of private capital was slightly higher than the average, but was still very much in line with their population size.
