Salaries in the public sector 20% higher than in the private sector

The implementation of the pay grade system in the public sector has been announced for 2021, which means that the minimum monthly salary will be multiplied by different coefficients for each job.

If the health crisis does not delay the adjustment of salaries in the public sector again, this adjustment will affect more than 450,000 employees of institutions, state bodies, public bodies, schools and hospitals. This practically means that for the same type of work a driver would receive the same pay regardless of whether they work in a ministry, a municipality, a school or a state agency.

Wages in the public sector are on average about 20% higher than in the private sector, and in the first quarter of this year, compared to the same period last year, they grew by 10%.

The average salary in public companies in the first quarter of this year was 72,383 dinars, in the public sector 66,936 dinars, while in the public administration 65,194. The average salary of teachers who are college graduates amounts to 46,574 dinars, while the salary of teachers who are university graduates amounts to 59,000 dinars.
