In February, the average gross earnings of full-time employees – enterprises employing at least 5 people, budgetary institutions and non-profit organizations significant for employment – were 546 thousand HUF, 31.7 percent higher than a year earlier, the Central Statistical Office (KSH) reported on Tuesday.

Gross average earnings have risen sharply on an annual basis

The outstanding increase in the average salary was mainly due to the six-month salary of the defense and law enforcement professional staff, the so-called arms money and the already partially pre-scheduled salary increases, as well as the increase of the minimum wage and the guaranteed minimum wage, KSH added.
