In the last four years, more than 310 thousand Greek men and women came out of the unemployment spectrum and are currently working. The minimum wage has been increased by 20% and, from the beginning of April, it will increase further. The increase in the average salary was the same. This is just the beginning. Further development of labor relations and workers’ wages is a key pillar of our policy.”
