The claim does not specify the year of the data or the methodology used. The most recent official Eurostat data (2024) shows a higher figure of 6.8%. The claim may be referring to an older period (2022 data showed 3.6% for Romania) without specifying the timeframe, which could create a misleading impression of current conditions.
Eurostat data refers to gross hourly earnings, which is the standard metric for international comparisons, but other metrics (monthly/annual earnings, median vs. mean) may yield different results.
