As a result, total compensation per hour is rising more rapidly, with the annual rate increasing to 3.1% in the first quarter of 2015, from 2.5% in 2014 as a whole and 1.1% in 2013. These higher wage costs are not showing up yet in overall inflation because of the countervailing impact of energy prices and import costs.
因此，总时薪正在快速增长，2015年一季度增长年率为3.1%，而2014年全年为2.5%，2013年为1.1%。这些增加的工资成本尚未表现在总体通胀中，原因就在能源价格和进口品成本下降的抵消作用。但是，随着这些暂时性影响在未来一年中逐渐消失，总体物价通胀将开始更快地增长。
