The government has stated that 360,000 public sector workers can expect a pay raise in 2015, although this increase will not be the same as the cuts resulting from the government’s austerity measures. The government’s plan is that educational workers get the highest raise, followed by health care workers, doctors, nurses, soldiers, police officers and social workers. A further increase of salaries and pensions in 2016 was also promised.
