Financial services, telecoms, R&D, and distillery services are the highest paying industries in Greece, according to the latest data released by the Greek Labor Ministry.
More specifically, based on findings from the ministry’s Ergani information system, average monthly salaries for those working in financial services came to approximately 2,648 euros gross.
According to the data, there are currently 255,127 people employed in the Top 10 highest paying industries in Greece with average monthly salaries ranging from 1,500 euros to more than 2,000 euros in five of these.
Meanwhile, based on the same data, in September 2024, salary increases for employees in Greece ranged from 12% to 46% in the 20 largest sectors by employment compared to the same month in 2019.
The same data indicates that full-time contract workers in Greece make 1,433 euros gross on average.
Leading the way with wage increases was the country’s F&B sector which marked a 46% rise in wages in September over the same month in 2019. Next in line were rental and leasing services (+35%) while salaries for those working in building and outdoor services, legal and accounting, and personal care services (barbershops, hairdressers, cleaners, treatment centers) increased by 34%.
Late last month, the government announced another annual minimum wage increase set for 2028 based on inflation and the country’s economic performance. For the first time, the wage adjustment system will include public sector employees.
