Between 2000 and 2023, the average wage in Italy raised, reaching almost 32,450 euros in 2023. However, in 2020 there was a decrease to 28,485 euros due to an economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, before increasing again to 30,247 euros in 2021.

Wages in the different industries Among the different sectors, employees working in financial and banking services benefitted from the largest wages, who earned on average 47,900 euros a year. On the other hand, the lowest salaries in Italy were those of people working in agriculture, forestry, fishing, and silviculture. Gender pay gap In 2023, compared to men, Italian women earned on average about 2,300 euros less per year. However, the gender pay gap differed from sector to sector. For instance, in 2020 in the banking and financial services, the salary of women was equal to 39,100 euros a year. On the other hand, the annual wage of men added up to 48,000 euros. Similarly, the annual salary of male employees working in the insurance industry was significantly higher than those of female employees. However, the gender pay gap in other fields was much lower.

Located in the north of the country, Lombardy had the highest mean gross salary in 2023, while workers in Basilicata earned the lowest average wages nationwide. The figure for Lombardy amounted to 33,055 euros, around 870 euros more than in Lazio, where the capital Rome is situated, as reported by Job Pricing.

The last positions of the raking were occupied by the southern regions, with an average wage of 28,300 euros. High wages and large pay gap  According to the same source, employees working in banking and financial services had some of the largest salaries in Italy. However, men earned roughly 22 percent more than women (47,900 euros versus 39,200 euros). Similarly, the annual gross salary in the insurance industry was 29 percent higher in favor of men. Low-wage workers The south of Italy was also the place registering the highest percentage of low paid employees. These are employees with an hourly salary of less than two thirds of the median salary over the total number of employees. More specifically, in the south and on the islands, the share of low-wage employees was 15.6 and 14.6 percent, respectively. In the northern regions, the share amounted to only 7.8 percent.
