A jump of 29% in ten years: the inexorable rise of the minimum wage, or the risk of France becoming a minimum wage
Faced with social anger, the government is considering giving a further boost to the minimum wage. However, the latter has already increased significantly faster than the median salary over the last decade.
Faced with a new bout of social anger, Emmanuel Macron decided to bring out a new version of “whatever it costs”: “whatever it costs businesses”. Not content with considering bringing forward the date of the automatic revaluation of the minimum wage, which normally occurs on January 1, the government could also give a boost to the minimum wage. According to information from Les Échos, this could amount to 0.5 or 0.6 points.
Enough to increase the total pay slip of minimum wage workers by 20 euros net per month for full-time employment (from approximately 1,478 to 1,498 euros).
