Dig deeper
Who is Bruno Le Maire?
A French politician and minister of the Economy from 2017 to 2024, he is here advancing a plan for a general rise in wages after publishing a manifesto for France.
What is the median net wage?
It is the net wage that divides employees into two equal halves, one below and one above; doubling it would therefore target the middle of the scale, not only the lowest wages.
Why is unemployment at 5% presented as a lever?
At that level, close to full employment, companies find it harder to recruit, which in principle strengthens employees’ ability to negotiate raises.
What must he present next?
On the day of the interview, he must unveil 50 proposals, including these ideas on wages, in line with his manifesto for France.
