For example, the salaries of air conditioner fitters, bricklayers, and room painters have more than doubled, and the difference in wages between the capital and the countryside has decreased.
As far as net nominal incomes are concerned, the earnings of highly experienced "masters" have now reached or approached HUF 1 million per month in some professions, which is what air-conditioning installers, painters, carpenters, locksmiths, and masons earn.
The wages of electricians and tilers are only slightly below that, the report noted.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
