According to the Statistical Register of Employment (SRDAP), the number of persons in employment in June remained broadly unchanged relative to previous months (seasonally adjusted) and compared with a year earlier. The number of  persons in employment declined slightly year-on-year (–0.2%), while the number of self-employed persons increased (0.8%). Despite the relatively stable overall number, there are considerable differences in year-on-year changes across activities: the largest year-on-year declines in the number of persons in employment were recorded in administrative and support service activities (–1.6%), trade (–1.5%) and manufacturing (–1.3%). In public service activities (2.2% overall), particularly human health and social work activities (3.5%), the number of persons in employment was higher. The number of foreign citizens in employment increased by 2.7% year-on-year in June, while the number of Slovenian nationals in employment declined by 0.6%, primarily due to retirements.

Year-on-year nominal growth in the average gross wage strengthened in June (8.3%), in both the public (8.8%) and private sectors (7.8%). In the public sector, the acceleration compared with previous months was due to the payment of the third instalment of the basic wage increase. In the private sector, year-on-year wage growth in June was also higher than in previous months, reflecting, among other factors, stronger growth in economic activity this year and persistent labour shortages. The highest growth was recorded in construction (11.0%). 
In the first half of 2026, the average gross wage increased by 7.2% in nominal terms (4.1% in real terms) – by 6.9% in the public sector (3.8% in real terms) and by 7.2% in the private sector (4.1% in real terms). 

Slovenian industrial producer prices increased for the fifth consecutive month in July (by 0.7%). Year-on-year growth strengthened from 2.4% to 3.4%, reaching its highest rate since July 2023. Prices were higher year-on-year in all main industrial groups, with the largest contribution to growth coming from raw material prices, which were 5.1% higher and increased by 4% in the last four months alone. Year-on-year growth in prices of capital goods (2.8%) and energy (2.0%) also strengthened. Growth in consumer goods prices remains moderate (1.4%), mainly due to low growth in the prices of non-durable consumer goods (0.4%). Growth in the prices of durable consumer goods (5.4%) remained high, largely reflecting, in our assessment, strong price growth in the manufacture of furniture and other manufacturing (8.9%). Prices in the domestic market rose year-on-year (by 3.9%) at a slightly faster pace than prices in foreign markets (2.8%).
