Berita 24 English - Japan's labour ministry announced on Monday that it would delay the release of closely watched wage data scheduled for Tuesday, citing the need to "scrutinize" certain figures.
The ministry stated that it cannot predict when the data will be released without providing additional details. It was scheduled to release revised data on wage earners' total cash earnings for March and fiscal 2020 projections on Tuesday.
"We want to publish the data as soon as possible after we have finalized the revised March data," a ministry official told Reuters.
The 2018 revelations that labour ministry officials used faulty polling methods cast doubt on the ministry's wage data from 2004 to 2017.
The official stated that the latest delay has nothing to do with the erroneous polling methods.
