Over the past decades, Russians have increasingly compared their earnings with the earnings of Europeans. And in vain, because in comparison with Russians, Europeans receive wages much higher, but do not forget that life in some countries is much more expensive.
Leading countries, or which country in Europe pays the big salary
Surprisingly, but one of the most prosperous countries is Belgium, it is this country that is in one of the first places in terms of high wages. But moving further east, you can notice a decrease in the level of earnings. Therefore, if a job is chosen in a European country, it is worth paying attention to the companies located in Belgium, since they have a high level of payments.
Spending just an hour on work, on average, you can get about 39, 3 euros. In other EU countries, the average hourly wage is only 23 euros.
If we draw a parallel between the level of wages of a Belgian waiter or cleaner, then it will be longer in comparison with Russians, since they receive 1600-2000 euros, a similar level of salary for security guards and drivers. But for a doctor with experience or for an employee of a financier, a salary is already offered in excess of 10 thousand euros.
It is worth noting that the Belgians have surpassed even the Swiss and Irish in terms of wages and labor productivity. Thus, the average income of the Belgians is about 24 thousand euros, while the Irish does not even reach 18.
Switzerland is no less prosperous, the only nuance is that you can only judge the earnings of local residents by their spending, because in most companies, including those with state participation, the amount of the contract is a commercial secret.
Countries next to Belgium
In second place in terms of prosperity are the French. It is they who, having worked sixty minutes, receive a little less than the Belgians - 34, 20 euros. And in third place is Luxembourg, where the average wage per hour can reach 33, 7 euros. By the way, this does not prevent the country from occupying one of the first places among the EU countries in terms of living standards.
Regarding Germany, where Russians like to go to work today, it is also worth noting here a rather high level of wages, which is 30, 1 euros per hour. And the most attractive cities in terms of work are Hamburg, Frankfurt and Berlin. As for the average monthly earnings, it is equal to 2.5 thousand euros.
Bulgaria turned out to be the lowest-paid country, here an employee will have to work hard to earn a thousand euros, because for one hour of work he will receive only 3.5 euros. Greece is heading towards a similar level of payment.
