Jurist Highlights Need to Correct Salary Gaps
Member of the Indicator Committee from the General Labor Union, Hassan Fekih, pointed out that adjusting salaries and wages in the private sector has become an urgent necessity due to the significant disparity between income and expenses, resulting from the rise in prices of many goods and services during 2026. Prices of gasoline increased by 92.2%, diesel by 96.6%, and energy and electricity costs rose substantially, leading to a cost of living increase of between 10% and 12%, with rents rising to $300 per month. He confirmed that the minimum wage is insufficient to cover the expenses of a family of five and called for a salary increase of at least 50%, warning of the consequences of maintaining the current situation without correction.
