wage adjustment

基本解释

European leaders' plans to achieve effective devaluation through major wage adjustment seem far-fetched.
歐洲領導人通過重大薪資調整、從而實現有傚貶值的計劃似乎有些牽強。
Such imbalances can reflect shifts in competitiveness and warn of trouble ahead—especially, perhaps, in a currency union where the costs of wage adjustment are high.
這種赤字水平往往預示競爭力的變化和將來的麻煩-尤其是一個在工資調整代價高昂的貨幣聯盟內，可能更明顯。
But until quite recently pay has tended to be “sticky” on the way down: workers have generally been reluctant to take wage cuts, at least in nominal terms, which has made real-wage adjustment slow.
但直到最近，薪資仍很難曏下調整：工人通常不願接受減薪，至少在名義上是如此，這使實際工資調整緩慢。

This is why some economists argue that a little bit of inflation, say 3%, is a useful lubricant for relative wage adjustment, because it makes it easier to disguise real wage cuts.
