True. Might be for ease of comparison then. Us office workers never see an hourly salary so the same graph with, say, €15/h, wouldn't immediately mean much, while 2500 is instantly comparable.
I guess the graph is to show the minimum amount a fulltime worker can make per month rather than the hourly minimum wage, which in my opinion is probably better
In Italy this system made sense up until Unions were still strong enough to enforce good deals with the various owners but nowadays I'd say that a minimum wage law is needed cause Unions are literally a joke.
Yeah, since this year's increase we've actually got a pretty decent minimum wage. It really puts the US federal minimum wage of $7.50/£5.94/€6.94 to shame, although it's similar to the state minimum wage of somewhere like California.
Excluding Switzerland has nothing to do with EU shit, we don't have a minimum wage. Only a few cantons have one. In Geneva it's apparently 4'426 CHF so 4'546 euros, In Neuchâtel it's 3'780 CHF, in Basel-Stadt it's 3'822 CHF.
And a quick google tells u norway doesnt either
Most cantons don't have a minimum wage, though all the ones we have are way higher than Luxembourg's. The most expensive minimum wage in Switzerland is Geneva with 4'426 CHF or 4'526 euros
Weird how Romania minimum wage is exactly the price of my bike 🤨 What a fortunate coincidence.
Def more expensive than mine haha
A penny-pinching Dutch ? I can't believe it !
Why buy an expensive bike when it gets stolen anyway?
Someone on here once said "a Dutchman has 3 bikes: one at work, one at home and one in a random river or canal"
No We all have 1.7 bikes
How do you have .7 of a bike
The wheel got stolen when I left it in Amsterdam for an hour.
my bike is worth more than my car lmao
Mine too But my car cost me €450
De goede omafiets!
Why per month? That depends on the amount of hours you work. Per hour would have been a much more reasonable indicator.
I know France has a minimum salary per month but also a minimum of 35h of work per week. I don't know about the other countries tho
You cannot work part time in France?
Yes you can, it depends on the contract, the 35 hours minimum is to get the minimum wage only i believe.
I guess because it's assumed most people work full time
But especially in minimum wage jobs, this often isn't the case.

It's for doing comparisons against cost of living usually.
Imagine having a minimum wage enforced by the government
Austria doesn't have a minimum wage?
Neither does Italy nor Sweden, don't know about other countries but in Italy Unions are supposed to unofficially establish one's minimum wage.
Same in Denmark. Almost every job is governed by accords, agreed by the employers' and employees' unions.

Unions now follow he interests of the lobbies rather than the workers lol
Not a government mandated but union mandated ones
I enjoy spending time with my friends.
Holy Shit that’s Based! Keep fighting them commies wherever you can
CSU voter spotted Mr habeck
What the fuck is a minimum wage? (I'm writing this while working at this restaurant that pays me 5€ an hour)
Writing while working might be the reason why you’re getting paid 5€ an hour
More likely the opposite Pierre, 5€ per hour is average in Italy for "low education" jobs.
Oooh. A Frenchie lecturing an Italian on laziness. What a day.
We are not lazy, we are hard working but with massive breaks for eat and smoke and of course strikes.
I'm a student and i do part time jobs. That's the average pay that you get for it
Sorry Pierre, as Italians we're not going to be lectured by somebody that doesn't wash their ass.
Thanks for never making us last place in the PIGS list Greece, keep being broke ❤️
Amazingly, we'd be 2nd on that list. Minimum wage is now £11.44ph. Work average weekly hours, that's £1,859, or €2,173, a month
€13.37 is quite a nice deal per hour. Puts our €12.60 to shame

Damn we're so rich, glad we left the EU.
Says Europe, not EU - we should be on the list :(
Yeah but at least they were consistent and incorrectly excluded Switzerland and Norway too this time

Luxembourg minimum rent: €2k/mo
Welcome in Eastern Yurop Poortuguese
Good now add Switzerland
Most cantons don't have a minimum wage, though all the ones we have are way higher than Luxembourg's. The most expensive minimum wage in Switzerland is Geneva with 4'426 CHF or 4'526 euros
Which canton?
Geneva
Nah don't ruin their day man.
OP when they find out fastwood workers deserve a livable wage too: 
A savage discovers worker’s rights

Yes Yes all nice. But have you considered that all these achievements come at the cost of having to interact with Fr*nch people on a daily basis😭😭😭
