ERR News - The paltry 278 euros per month, before taxes, that marks the legal minimum wage in Estonia comes in at 38 percent of the EU average, statistics from Eurostat show. Äripäev reported that  the minimum wage earners in Bulgaria are the worst off in the bloc, making just 123 euros per month, or 17 percent of the average. Luxem-bourg residents occupy the other end of the scale with a 1,758-euro minimum wage, which is 252 percent of the average.  Despite its economic troubles, Greece has a minimum wage of 877 euros per month, higher than the EU average of 726 euros. Likewise, Spain and Slovenia beat the average with 748 euros. Eurostat's numbers, however, cover only 20 of the 27 EU member states since seven of them - Denmark, Germany, Italy, Cyprus, Austria, Finland and Sweden - have no minimum wage mandated at the national level.
