COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AN) – Europe's experiment in helping boost low-paid workers' salaries appears to be gaining momentum but not fast enough to keep up with rising food and energy costs.
Minimum wages in the European Union – a topic of heated debate – have risen on average since last July, ranging from 551 euros per month in Bulgaria to 2,638 euros per month in Luxembourg, according to the latest figures released by the E.U.'s statistical office, Eurostat, on Friday.
