據《法制晚報》報道，自4月1日起，中國總共12個省市上調了最低月工資標準。

浙江的新標準從原來的1100元上調至1310元，位居全國第一，廣東緊隨其后，標準上升至1300元，均超過原來長期高居榜首的上海（1280元）。

調整最低工資標準的所有省份中，東部地區占8個，反映了東部省份希望吸引更多的勞動力來從事紡織和制造等勞動密集型產業。

從漲幅來看，重慶達到27.9%，位居第一，寧夏漲幅為26.9%，屈居第二，均反映了西部各省想要留住當地勞動力，避免他們流失到其他地區。

Minimum wages raised in 12 Chinese provinces and cities

A total of 12 provinces and municipalities in China raised their standards for the minimum monthly salary on April 1, Legal Evening News reported.

Zhejiang Province raised its standard to 1,310 yuan from 1,100 yuan, while Guangdong sets its standard at 1,300 yuan, both overtaking long time leader Shanghai (1280 yuan) as the provinces in China with highest minimum wage.

Of all the listed provinces, eight are from the east, reflecting the eastern provinces' intention to attract more workers for their labor-intensive industries such as textile and manufacturing.

Chongqing Municipality registered a rate hike of 27.9 percent, which tops the list in terms of growth, while Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region sits at second place with a 26.8 percent increase, both indicating the western region's strong desire to keep their local workforce from leaving for jobs in other regions.
