According to the report, the headmistress has not been promoted since 2001, and with her small salary, she is sometimes left with no choice but to use a part of it to cover school costs such as making photocopies.

The frustrated woman admitted that she would gladly accept an opportunity to leave the country in search of a greener pasture when given the opportunity because she has been in Ghana all herself, and nothing seems to be working for her.

The bold young man, whose name was not disclosed, made this statement at the just ended Youth Employment Agency (YEA) job fair held at the Accra international conference centre from Thursday, September 9, 2021, to Friday, September 10, 2021.

According to the man, he will reject a monthly salary lower than Ghc2000 because he has an Information Technology (IT) background, and with his skills and certifications, he expects better pay.

Another reason he brought up is that he lives in Accra, and the cost of living is very high; hence to be paid below Ghc2000 would be of no help.
