#DYK that there is a big #MinimumWage gap in the EU?

In July 2023, the lowest minimum wage was €399 in Bulgaria and the highest was €2,508 in Luxembourg.

Starting from November 2024, all workers earning the minimum wage will earn enough to afford a decent standard of living.

The rules don't dictate on how much the minimum wage should be. They will ensure that the minimum wage allows for a decent life depending on the cost of living in each EU country.
