Coronavirus – this is how the salaries of Hungarians decreased

The Hungarian state only helps those financially whose working time was reduced, while people who were fired receive

an unemployment allowance for only 3 months, which is the lowest in the EU. 

According to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 120 thousand people lost their jobs so far. Many of them, however, do not register as unemployed because they wait for their workplace to reopen (musicians, actors, chefs, etc.).

The poll of the Pulzus Kutató is representative and, interestingly, they found that

more men suffered a salary reduction than women.

Furthermore, they say that if somebody is older, their job is safer, but salaries grew mostly in the case of young people. Having a university degree does not provide immunity for anybody, but the amount of money lost is lower in their case. Moreover, the lesson from the territorial comparison is that people living in Budapest are in a worse financial situation because of the virus than those living in Debrecen or Pápa.
