While the salary increases are not uniform, the common denominator remains the search to compensate for the loss of purchasing power against the cost of living. Below are the average salary values requested according to the latest survey by the specialized site Bumeran (in September 2025, the values had been these):

Compared to September, most sectors recorded adjustments between 5% and 10%, although some areas related to technology, finance, and human resources showed more marked increases.
Executive and technical profiles continue to head the ranking of the highest requested salaries, while areas linked to services, customer service, and tourism continue to be the lowest paid on average.
With a labor market that remains competitive and salaries that continue to try to keep up with inflation, workers' expectations reflect the tension between the economic reality and the desire to improve working conditions.
Driven by inflation and the need to maintain purchasing power, workers adjust their expectations month by month, while companies prudently evaluate new hires.
According to data updated to October 2025, the average salary request rose again in most sectors.
In a labor market that still shows caution and fewer opportunities than in previous years, the salaries requested by Argentines continue to rise.
