Polish minimum wage between Luxembourg and Bulgaria

Minimum wage in Poland:

Depends how old someone is on what rate they get in the UK..so the figures must be set at the higher rate, also how many hours would one have to work to earn 1200 euros a month? Seems high.

More like between Bulgaria (138) and Greece (876)

High minimum wage is what cause unemployment.

now waiting for attack of PF commies...

*causes

please explain, I know you like to come on here and make sweeping generalisations, but I'd like to know why you think this and if you've got any proof.

£6.50 is not high...in fact its a pittance...most struggle to live on twice that hourly rate since living in the UK is expensive (my travel alone a month costs £200)

Also minimum wage is so that people can have a decent living wage even though this is often not the case...Nowt commie about that hun, its about living in a civilised country and wanting people not to live in poverty...

It's basic stuff really... When you increasing the price, demand is decreasing...

dang.. what's low

Increase the price of what? I don't understand you.

Polish minimum wage between Luxembourg and Bulgaira

that is good news, isn't it?

Actually the number of people who are on minimum wage is quite low, about 3% of the workforce. But wages in Poland are a bit high compared to the people with whom they are competiing for investment (e.g. Slovakia).

The price of labor...

There are predictions that thanks to demographic situation and the fact that the current boomers are retiring soon there won't be enough work force in Poland and there will be a sharp increase in real wages... Who knows what the future holds, it might be that our wages will rise to Western Europe's standards sooner rather than later (assuming efficiency will go up too, no one wants to end up like Greece...)
