However, the ordinary people doubt if the result of the survey is reliable. Many people say that their salaries haven't been increased. On contrary, the prices of food and other products have increased very fast. Thus, some people suggest strongly that salary should keep pace with CPI growth. However, some guys have different opinions on this matter. In their opinion, salary shouldn't be linked with CPI. Although the CPI has increased and has had adverse effect on people's livelihood, it shouldn't have been taken as an excuse for salary increase. What are your views? In your view, should salary be linked with CPI?
