Average monthly wage during each prime minister's tenure

Every prime minister since 1991, ranked by how average monthly wage changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last month complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. ₪ per month, in today's money, per employee job · The Central Bureau of Statistics from National Insurance reports (series 613004), average monthly wage per employee job, seasonally adjusted, adjusted for inflation with the CPI (OECD) · Israel data · as of Sep 2026.
