With increasing labor productivity, efficiency, technological upgrades, salaries have to grow,” Skvernelis said on LRT Radio on Tuesday morning.
“Jobs paying such a salary (of 1,000 euros) are available in the market today, but employers sometimes have problems finding people who not only want, but, most importantly, can do the job,” he added.
