Lithuania pays over 3 million euros to Ukrainian workers

More than 3 million euros have been paid to Lithuania by working Ukrainians, including 2 million euros in April alone.

One in three Ukrainians of working age have already found a job. The Ukrainians in employment already paid over 3 million euros in taxes to our country, according to Monika Navickiene, Social Security and Labor Minister.

She said that I thank the employers who employ Ukrainians and encourage them to continue registering vacancies with the Employment Service.

More than 50,000 refugees have arrived in Lithuania, of which about 28,000 are of working age.

A majority of Ukrainians work in medium-skilled jobs, and one in ten has a high-skilled job.

Their salaries range from the minimum wage to almost 2,000 euros per month. The average Ukrainian working in Lithuania earns around 900 euro before tax.

Over 8,700 job seekers from Ukraine are currently registered with the Employment Service.
