📰 NEWS | Venezuelan Gov’t Maintains Frozen Minimum Wage, Hikes Bonuses on May Day Venezuela’s government announced an increase in the “integral minimum income” for public sector workers to $240 per month, achieved through higher bonuses rather than a rise in the base minimum wage, which remains frozen at 130 bolívares (~$0.27).
