Since the beginning of this year, the minimum wage to which workers in Germany, the next one in our list of countries with the highest minimum wage in the world in 2017, are entitled is 8.84 Euros or 10.44 USD per hour. This suggests an increase in minimum wage, which was 8.50 Euros per hour in April, 2015. Since the decision on the raise of the minimum wage was adopted only in the beginning of this year, it does not immediately apply to sectors which are covered by binding collective agreements. Some workers are yet to experience the benefits arranged by the German government.
