Morocco placed 36th in the latest global wage report published by Prosfi, recording an average annual wage of about $6,900.

The ranking puts the kingdom among the 40 countries with the lowest average annual wages. Prosfi said it based the report for the third quarter of 2026 on more than 60 million job postings across more than 70 countries, along with voluntary data submitted by platform users.

Switzerland topped the global ranking with an average annual wage of $102,841. Australia followed with $64,226, while the United States recorded $53,939. Morocco stood between Guatemala, ranked 35th at $7,691, and Ecuador, ranked 37th at $6,753.

Within a regional group covering 15 countries from Asia, Africa and Oceania, Morocco ranked 11th and posted 10% growth in average wages. It came directly after Malaysia and ahead of the Philippines, India, Pakistan and Nigeria. Nigeria ranked last regionally at $1,297 despite reporting 21.9% growth.

The figures point to continuing differences in income levels between wealthy economies and emerging markets, as well as among countries in the same region. For Morocco, the report described the wage increase as a relative improvement while pointing to continuing challenges involving income, productivity and the creation of higher-value jobs.
