➤ Is a higher salary guaranteed during periods of inflation?
No. Higher nominal pay is not guaranteed. Wage gains depend on labor market strength, contract terms, and productivity. If wages lag behind inflation, workers lose purchasing power. Some sectors and fixed‑income households may see real income declines despite nominal salary increases.
