3. Minimum wage at its lowest level since 2005
El avance inflacionario ha sido lo suficientemente fuerte para derribar el potencial de compra del salario mínimo a su nivel más bajo de los últimos siete años.

Inflation beats the rise of the minimum wage which has seen its purchasing power hit a 7 year low.

En marzo, con una remuneración básica de 1.223,89 bolívares se podía cubrir 84,2% del costo de la canasta alimentaria que, según reportó este jueves el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), se ubicaba en 1.452,2 bolívares al cierre del mes pasado.

In march, the minimum wage only covers 84.2% of the basic alimentary needs, according to the INE (State's Stats Institute)

El resultado representa el peor nivel para un mes de marzo desde el año 2005, cuando el salario mínimo permitía adquirir 91,5%.

It is the worst result since march 2005, when it had covered 91.5% of the basic alimentary needs
