In the forum, I noticed that some readers had doubts about the wage standard in 96, thinking that "those who engage in missiles are not as good as those who sell tea and eggs" is too exaggerated. Paste a few salary tables for everyone, it is a prefecture-level city, a coastal city, and a unit with very good benefits.

My uncle was a demobilized officer, and he used to write down his salary in a small notebook, so I went to find out.

In May 1992, before the wage reform, in the main camp of the army, on the small book: 243 yuan should be paid, and 243 yuan should be paid;

In October 1996, before being transferred to a local area, he was appointed as a regimental officer in the army, and 807 yuan should be paid, and 807 yuan should be paid;

The 13 years from 1992 to 2005 were the era when he moved from youth to middle age, taking on the burden of raising children, supporting the elderly, and participating in various activities.

He said that he had three deep impressions of spending money: First, in 1992, when the army was paid at the end of the month, there was a phenomenon of "disconnection" after the 20th;

Second, 2,000 years ago, I sometimes felt tight on money. Participating in some ceremonial events at the homes of comrades-in-arms and friends, although the gift was only 50 yuan at that time, if it was met once or twice a month, he would discuss with my aunt the plan for monthly expenses;

Third, after 2000, I obviously feel that my life is much more relaxed and wealthy, and I am not so stingy in spending money. In particular, the support for public welfare undertakings, participating in disaster relief, poverty alleviation, poverty alleviation and other projects donations, is not as distressing as before.

Sigang County in the book should have belonged to an agricultural county that was more than enough than the upper at that time.

Township and town finances all relied on three mentions and five unifications, and it was normal at that time that wages could not be paid, but it was not normal to be able to pay wages every month. Until now, the debts of the "Pujiu" in some places have not been paid off.

At that time, I went out to work, especially with the engineering team to engage in construction, and the annual income was about 10,000 yuan, and the monthly salary of working as an electronic worker in Guangdong was more than 1,000, and it was a common phenomenon that self-employed people earned more than cadres.

There were many elders around me, who were cadres at the time, their salaries were too small, they were often in arrears, they couldn't get by, they resigned and did not participate in the transition of civil servants after 1997. Now civil servants are well paid, and they regret it very much.

Therefore, I think that the wage standard in the book and the overall economic situation should be more reasonable.
