Generation 700 euro

A new catch phrase is making the rounds in Greek labour circles:  "Generation 700 euro." The not so flattering term refers to the workers in Greece who, you guessed it, make 700 euro a month. 25 percent of  Greeks are said to be part of the club.

Here's a breakdown of Generation 700 euro:

- 89% are not involved with union labor 
- 75% work in the private sector
- 75% don't go on strike
- 70% are dissatisfied with their prospects of moving up in the workplace
- 70% are dissatisfied with the type of work they're doing
- 67% are between the ages of 18 and 34
- 64% are women
