Seville, (EFE).- More than 426,000 workers, especially in the service and agri-food sectors, will benefit in Andalusia from the increase in the interprofessional minimum wage (SMI) by 80 euros per month to 1,080 euros, which was approved this Tuesday the Council of Ministers, and represents approximately 18 percent of wage earners.
According to the calculations of the CCOO and the UGT, the wage earners benefiting from the increase in the SMI belong above all to the agricultural and service sectors, such as the hotel and catering industry, as well as to the group of women and young people, since there are many children under 34 who they do not reach the SMI.
The unions have valued this increase because “it will improve the lives of workers” in a context marked by the increase in prices and mortgages as a result of the increase in interest rates.
Andalusia is one of the Spanish regions with the lowest gross salary, located on average in 2021 at 1,806 euros gross per month compared to 2,086 euros in Spain, according to “The decile of salaries for the main job” of the National Institute of Statistics (INE).
