The cost of the basic food basket increased by $14,000 in one month
According to the data released this Thursday by the Directorate of Statistics and Economic Research of the Ministry of Economy (DEIE), In Mendoza, a typical family of 4 people, with two adults and two children, needed $232,078 to avoid falling into poverty during July.
That total basic basket, which marks the line to fall into poverty, indicates that this is the monthly amount to cover food and service needs.
These new values show that this basket increased more than $14,000 compared to June, which translates into 6.7%, well above provincial inflation, which was 5.2%, and also above national inflation, which was 6.3%.
According to the same body, In order not to be indigent, the same family unit needs $93,958 in order not to be indigent.
Today a police officer who is just starting out receives between $210,000 and $220,000 out of pocket, this is with all the social work and retirement discounts and contributions made.
From the Ministry of Security they contributed that to this income the majority can add what they receive for extraordinary services, which are the extra jobs they do in other departments such as banks or events and that today have a value of $6,200 for each 4-hour period. The troops are authorized to take up to 30 of these periods per month, although most do not cover more than 20 of these extraordinary services.
“It is true that extraordinary services help to increase the salary, but it is also true that this is not part of your salary. In fact, it is not paid by the State, but by the companies to which the service is provided, so when they go to request a loan or when they retire, what is taken as the basis for calculation is the salary they receive”, Mayor explained.
