Note that eight EU and EEA countries — Austria, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and Iceland — set pay floors through sectoral collective bargaining rather than statute and therefore have no figure here at all; their absence is not a zero. It is published by Eurostat and updated twice a year."},{"question":"How current is this data?","answer":"The most recent observation covers 2025. Eurostat typically publishes this series with a lag of several months after the reference period.
