Indians workers earn monthly salary of $6,300, the highest in the US, UK, and Germany

India, Thekabarnews.com – Indian nationals are now the highest-paid group of workers in the US, UK, and Germany, among other major advanced nations. They make an average of US$6,300 a month. This trend shows that there is a rising need around the world for highly trained Indian workers, especially in technology, engineering, and academics.

The German Economic Institute’s analysis, which used full-year employment data from 2024, shows that Indians working full-time in Germany have the highest median monthly income of any nationality in the country. The study looks at gross median income, which shows how wages are structured rather than how much people at the top of the pay scale make.

Comparison between local and foreign workers

The research shows that Indian professionals in Germany make a gross median monthly wage of about US$6,300, which is more than what German citizens and workers from other high-income nations like the US and Austria make.

For comparison, the median monthly compensation for Germans is roughly US$4,890, and the typical salary for all foreign workers in Germany is about US$3,750. The big difference shows that Indian workers tend to work in very specialized and well-paying jobs.

Researchers say that this salary difference is mostly because there are many Indian nationals working in STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math) and in academic and research-heavy jobs. 

Many Indian professionals work as software engineers, data scientists, IT architects, researchers, and professors at universities. These jobs usually pay more because there are not enough people with the right skills.

There is still a lot of demand for talent

The survey also says that Germany’s chronic lack of specialized expertise keeps pushing up wages for highly trained foreign specialists. As German firms speed up digital transformation and growth driven by innovation, there is still a substantial demand for experienced engineers, IT specialists, and researchers. This is positive news for Indian professionals, who make up most of the applicants in these fields.

Overall, the results show how the global labor market and skill-based migration have made Indian professionals some of the highest-paid workers in some of the most competitive economies in the world. This strengthens their status as an important part of the international knowledge workforce.
