The desire to change specialization is, of course, influenced by the prospect of greater earnings. But employers are not in a hurry to increase employees’ wages yet.
“In general, the pressure between what a person wants to buy and what a business can afford is huge. It is difficult to predict which direction it will develop, who will make concessions. It seems that there are those who need it more. If it cannot stand it, the business starts to raise wages. Many people are planning wage indexation next year. If the hired worker cannot stand this, he will accept a lower wage level. “But if it doesn’t meet his basic needs, he will still look for another job with a higher salary,” he said.
