  • The salary gap between public sector employees in different Lithuanian municipalities has widened by 60 euros in the past year, according to the State Audit Office.
  • This increase occurred during the 2023-2025 State Service Reform, which saw annual salary growth in most municipal administrations.
  • The State Audit Office's findings highlight a growing disparity in public sector wages across the country.

The salary disparity among public sector employees in Lithuania's municipalities has grown, with the average wage gap increasing by 60 euros over the past year, according to the State Audit Office.

This trend emerged during the 2023-2025 State Service Reform period, a time marked by annual salary increases in nearly all municipal administrations. The State Audit Office's report indicates a widening gap between the highest and lowest paid municipalities, highlighting a growing unevenness in public sector compensation across the country.

While the report details the overall increase in public sector wages, it specifically points to the growing difference between municipalities. This suggests that while many public servants have seen pay raises, the benefits have not been distributed equally across all local government units.
