[Title] => ECOP warns against wage increase at present time
[Summary] => The Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) warned yesterday that increasing wages at this time would discourage buyers of the country’s export products from buying Philippine-made goods.
According to ECOP president Rene Y. Soriano, the minimum wage stands at about $4.95 today or close to the Malaysian wage level of $4.25 to $9.13 and higher than the Thai level of $3.39 to $4.28.
The Philippine and Malaysian wage levels, he said, are not comparable because Malaysia is a labor-short country and has a small unemployment rate.
