The average salary in Israel\u2019s high-tech sector reached an all-time high in March, climbing to NIS 38,467 ($13,310). This represents an increase of 4.3% compared with NIS 36,884 ($12,763) in March 2025, which had been the previous record, and a 9.3% increase compared with NIS 35,619 ($12,325) in February. The figures were published on Thursday by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS).<\/p>\n
March is traditionally a record month for salaries due to the payment of annual bonuses and grants, making the year-over-year comparison particularly significant.<\/p>\n
The impact of these bonus payments is reflected in the fact that the average salary in the programming sector reached NIS 40,117 ($13,881), surpassing the average salary in scientific research and development, which stood at NIS 39,866 ($13,794) and is typically the highest-paying field in the industry.<\/p>\n
The number of salaried positions in the high-tech sector totaled 396,000 in March, down 0.7% from 398,800 in February, but unchanged compared with March 2025.<\/p>\n
The rise in high-tech salaries helped push the average wage across the entire economy to a record NIS 15,921 ($5,509) in March, surpassing the previous high of NIS 14,657 ($5,072). In addition to higher high-tech pay, the figure was influenced by changes in employment patterns during the war period, including the temporary absence of many lower-wage workers from the labor market.<\/p>\n
According to the CBS estimate, the average wage in the economy fell 9.5% in April to NIS 14,409 ($4,986), reflecting the seasonal impact of March bonus payments. Nevertheless, this was still 4% higher than the average wage of NIS 13,852 ($4,793) recorded in April 2025.<\/p>\n
While sector-specific wage data is available only through March, the CBS reported that the number of salaried jobs held by Israeli workers continued to recover in April, rising 6.4% from 3.812 million in March to 4.057 million. However, employment remained 1.6% below the level recorded in April 2025, when the number of salaried jobs stood at 4.125 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The average salary in Israel\u2019s high-tech sector reached an all-time high in March, climbing to NIS 38,467 ($13,310).…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":476267,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-476266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
