The head of the MEF specified that there are currently 5.6 million formal workers in the country.
In addition, Graham stated that the measure of the increase in the minimum wage meets the technical conditions to make the adjustment.

In this sense, Graham pointed out that the opinion of the MEF is not binding in this case and does not require the approval of the Council of Ministers, since it is an analysis carried out by the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE).
“The evaluation of the criteria that have been taken reveal that there is time and space to make an adjustment”, he added.
