Approximately 150,000 active workers registered with the Social Security Corporation (SSC) receive monthly compensation equivalent to the statutory minimum wage of JD260 (about $366).
In a statement to Petra, the SSC said 142,083 of the registered minimum wagers are Jordanians while the remaining 8,437 are non-Jordanians.
Therefore, the SSC added, 10.5 percent of the total number of registered active workers in the Kingdom, at 1.437 million, receive salaries at parity with the minimum wage.
