Politare

Average wage, real during each president's tenure

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

No tenure qualifies with these filters.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last quarter 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.
