The Greek labor market continues to face a challenge with the lack of well-paid positions. Despite improvements in reducing unemployment and poverty wages, the percentage of individuals earning above €1,500 remains stagnant.

Official data from the “Ergani” system reveals that only 18.9% of the total workforce in 2023 earn more than €1,500, compared to 20% in 2013. This disparity highlights the scarcity of well-paid jobs in Greece.

The government emphasizes the need for increased wages and employment to combat inflation and enhance national income. This strategy involves engaging the economically inactive population and attracting foreign workers to address the ongoing economic challenges.
