Pays of 150K registered workers at minimum wage threshold

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.
