THE MEASURES ARE GOOD FOR THE GOVERNMENT, IN REALITY WORKERS ARE POORER

The difference between the average net salary and the union basket in 2022 is 7,384 denars, that is, so much money is missing to be able to live at least normal for a family of four with an average salary if there is only one employee. Last year, that is, in 2021, that difference was much less and was 5,436 denars, in 2020 it was 6,925 denars, and in 2019 it was 7,816 denars.

The "Money" portal made an analysis for 5 years ago, how much part of the union basket was covered by one average net salary. The data show that one average net salary never covered the expenses from the union basket, which means that if there is only one employee in a family of four, even if he has his own apartment, i.e. does not pay rent and does not have a vehicle, therefore that this is not taken into account in the union basket, the family can neither eat a minimum nor maintain necessary hygiene with the cheapest means taken into account in the calculation of the union basket.
