Salaries are rising in many parts of the country, as the cost of most things continue to increase

New figures from Trade Me, show the median salary has increased two-percent in the three months to June, to reach 66-thousand dollars.

Salaries have reached a record high in most regions, including Canterbury, Waikato and Bay of Plenty.

Meanwhile, new figures from Worldline --- formerly Paymark -- shows New Zealanders are spending about the same as they were a year ago.

However, they're getting far less for the money they're spending.
