The Boeckler trade union-linked research organisation has published its annual review of trends in minimum wages across Europe. The survey finds increases averaging 4.6% over the past year, ahead of the 3.7% average recorded in 2014. The report includes information on a number of countries outside the European Union - Turkey, FYRO Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Moldova, Russian and Ukraine. The last three countries record the lowest level of minimum wages when converted into euros at only 54, 53 and 34 euro cents per hour, respectively.
