Original title: the minimum wage standard in many places has been raised, and the monthly minimum wage standard in 6 provinces has exceeded 2000 yuan
According to economic daily, the end of the year is coming, and the number of provinces that have raised the minimum wage has increased. In November, Hebei and Liaoning began to implement new minimum wage standards. The Department of human resources and social security of Fujian Province recently issued a notice, which decided to adjust the minimum wage standard in all parts of the province from January 1, 2020.
The minimum wage standard is regarded as an index of "covering the bottom", which is the remuneration that the employer must pay to the laborer according to law under the normal working conditions of the laborer. According to the reporters' analysis, as of November 2019, the monthly minimum wage of Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong, Tianjin, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces exceeded 2000 yuan.
In terms of the hourly minimum wage standard, the hourly minimum wage standard in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangdong exceeds the threshold of 20 yuan, among which Beijing leads the country with the minimum hourly wage of 24 yuan. However, the minimum hourly wage in Hunan Province is 12.5 yuan, which is nearly twice as high as that in Beijing.
