At 830 to 840 euros the minimum wage – The three years and benefits [πίνακες]

The new minimum wage is announced today after the meeting of the cabinet, which will ratify the proposal of the Minister of Labor Mrs. Domnas Michailidou.

There are two versions for the amount of the new salary: first, the increase will reach 50 euros and bring the new minimum wage to 830 euros, and secondly, the over-optimistic scenario, the increase will reach 60 euros and the minimum wage will reach 840 euros .
