I am fully aware that the minimum wage must also increase in our country. it has the lowest values in Europe. Undoubtedly, inflation is far ahead of incomes, yesterday we talked about the fact that a large percentage of Bulgarian citizens cannot cover their daily needs. This is what Tanya Skrinska said on the “Crossroads” program on NOVA.
But the truth is that right now, when we are also facing a recession, and in general we are in such a serious economic crisis caused by the war and not only that, we have to be very careful about this thing, because it can lead to the bankruptcy of many companies and to the unemployment of many people, he believes.
“Don’t get us wrong, Sofia is not Bulgaria. The backbone of Bulgarian business is micro-small and medium-sized enterprises, and it is very important to be careful how and to what extent we raise the minimum wage, because it can lead to serious serious problems and among employers, and consequently it affects the employed: a large percentage of people will switch from an eight-hour working day to a four-hour one and employers will lay off employees, Skrinska added.
“For big cities, this might not be a problem, as people could retrain and find other jobs. There are areas of the country where there is a business, and there the problem will be very big.”
“I don’t think an employer would not want to increase the salaries of his employees, especially since it is increasingly difficult to find specialists in Bulgaria. The problem with personnel is huge. But at the moment all costs are being increased and this cannot be avoided hit an employer.”
