Eurostat: Minimum wages in the EU25

Statutory minimum wages varied by one to eleven across the EU in January 2006. In January 2006, eighteen of the 25 Member States of the EU had national legislation setting statutory minimum wages. The level at which these were set varied widely, from 129 euro per month in Latvia to 1 503 euro per month in Luxembourg. It should be noted that the proportion of employees receiving the minimum wage also differs greatly between Member States, ranging from less than 1% in Spain to 18% in Luxembourg.
