The minimum wage, which was increased by 49 percent as we entered 2024 and was not updated in the middle of the year, was increased by 30 percent as we entered 2025, despite inflation of 44 percent.

In the private sector, where rates based on minimum wage increases have been seen in recent years, the decrease in salaries makes especially competent employees unhappy.

Eleman.net, which acts as a job intermediary for employers and employees, revealed striking results in a survey conducted on salary increases.

While the survey was conducted to reveal the opinions and approaches of employers regarding the minimum wage, it was revealed that nearly half of the employers were considering giving their employees more increases than the minimum wage increase.
