TOKYO - Japan's real wages fell 0.3 percent in November from a year earlier, marking the fourth consecutive monthly decline, as pay growth failed to keep pace with rising prices, government data showed Thursday.

Nominal wages, or the average total monthly cash earnings per worker including base and overtime pay, increased 3.0 percent to 305,832 yen ($1,900), rising for the 35th straight month, according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
