"Today, on International Labor Day, the authorities pay tribute to all those who work honestly and contribute, day by day, to the development of the country. It is a day that reminds us that legal work means not only a secure income, but also respect for human rights, social protection and the chance for a dignified life.

The minimum and average salaries have been increased by 87 per cent and 75 per cent, respectively, compared to 2021, and the unemployment rate is declining.

Each of us deserves a safe and fairly paid job. Choose to work legally – for yourself, for your family and for Moldova's future," said Daniel Voda.
