The Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) will conduct a labour and wage survey in enterprises across 18 provinces and cities under the central government, representing the eight economic regions of Vietnam. These localities are home to a large number of enterprises and have well-developed labour markets.
The regions included in the wage survey are: the Red River Delta (Hanoi, Hai Phong, Hai Duong, Bac Ninh, and Vinh Phuc); Northeast (Quang Ninh); Northwest (Hoa Binh); North Central (Thanh Hoa, Nghe An); South Central Coast (Da Nang, Khanh Hoa); Central Highlands (Dak Lak); Southeast (Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, Binh Duong, and Ba Ria-Vung Tau); and Mekong Delta (Long An, Can Tho).
The survey targets 3,400 enterprises and employees in various positions within these enterprises. MoLISA will collect information on production, business, labour, and wage situations in the enterprises.

The survey aims to provide a basis for adjusting the minimum wage for 2025, in line with the activities of the National Wage Council. The results will also serve the management and periodic announcement of average wage levels in the labour market, providing a reference for enterprises and employees in wage negotiations.
Previously, on June 30, the government issued Decree No. 74/2024/ND-CP stipulating the minimum wage for labourers working under labour contracts. From July 1, the minimum monthly wage by region is as follows: Region I – VND 4,960,000; Region II – VND 4,410,000; Region III – VND 3,860,000; and Region IV – VND 3,450,000.
The minimum hourly wage for labourers working for employers by region has also been adjusted, specifically: Region I – VND 23,800 per hour; Region II – VND 21,200 per hour; Region III – VND 18,600 per hour; and Region IV – VND 16,600 per hour.
Increase Your Salary without Inflated Prices
Starting from 1st July, wage policies have been adjusted to increase the income for workers. However, wage increases are only truly meaningful when the state can effectively control inflation and prevent prices from skyrocketing.
Three types of salaries will increase from July 1st, 2024
According to the plan, three important types of salaries, including civil servant salaries, officer salaries, pension salaries, and regional minimum wage will increase from July 1, 2024. This is something that both officials, workers, and retirees have been eagerly anticipating.
