While wage levels have increased over the 2014-2016 period for all skill groups and in both sectors of the economy, low-skilled wages grew somewhat more (median gross monthly wage grew from CZK 16,235 to CZK 18,252, see Table 18) than the wages of other skill groups, and the wage growth came predominantly from the private sector (median gross monthly wage grew from CZK 16,766 to CZK 18,786).
