Mitsotakis: 25 years record in new jobs – target 950 euros minimum wage

His satisfaction with the latest elements of the “ERGANI” information system, which show a 25 -year record in new jobs, was expressed by the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakisby posting on social media. As he noted, the battle against unemployment It is a primary objective for the government since 2019, while stressing that the progress made in the labor market is not accidental, but a fruit of targeted policies.

“There is no greater social injustice than unemployment and inequalities it causes,” he said, adding that employment recovery is achieved through combined interventions in the economy and the labor market. These include the reduction of taxes and contributions to employees and businesses, the attraction of investment through strong incentives and the simplification of processes.

Particular emphasis is placed, as he underlined, “in active employment and training policies aimed at vulnerable groups of the population: women, young people, people with disabilities, and retirees who wish to reintegrate work.”

“This progress is a collective conquest and proves that Greece is progressing, even in difficult times, that are testing stronger economies,” the prime minister said, noting that improvement is not only quantitative but also qualitative.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis, finally, reiterated the government’s goal for a minimum wage of 950 euros and average salary of 1,500 euros by 2027. “We said it and we do it,” he said.

In detail the post of the Prime Minister:

“There is no greater social injustice than unemployment and inequalities it causes. That is why I was very pleased with the details of the latest report of the ERGANI system, which records a 25 -year record in new jobs.
The primary goal we set as a government when we took over our duties in 2019 for a dynamic recovery of investment and employment is now achieved. Obviously it is not something that is happening in itself or with an automatic pilot, but the outcome of the policies we apply to the economy and the labor market.
With the drastic reduction of taxes and contributions to employees and businesses. With strong incentives for new investment and the restriction of bureaucracy. With active employment and training policies, especially for specific groups of the population, such as women, young people, people with disabilities and pensioners who wish to work.
This improvement is a collective conquest. Greece is progressing, in very troubled times that are testing larger and stronger economies than ours.
And progress is not only quantitative but also qualitative. Now, 3 out of 4 employees are employed in full -time positions. An increase of 10 points since 2019, when part -time positions were significantly more.
Together with the digital work card that protects 1.9 million employees from undeclared or indicated labor, we create a more just and better paid labor market day by day, with a target of 950 euros minimum wage and 1,500 euros average salary by 2027. We said it. “
