But wait, there is more.
Imagine getting a “competitive” salary of €4000 gross per month.
You get €2435 net and your employer needs to pay a total of €4684.
(If you’d rather get €4k net, you need to convince your employer to pay €8262)
Slovenia has roughly:
• 700k private-sector workers
• 260k public-sector workers
• 680k pension recipients
That’s 1 private-sector worker for every 1.3 people paid by the state or pension system.
And that’s before counting children, students, roads, healthcare, defense, and everything else...
Let that sink in.
