There is almost 1,500 euros difference between the highest and lowest average pensions. Salaries explain part of the divergence, but there are many other factors.
The best benefits are in Euskadi and Asturias and the worst are in Extremadura and Galicia. The highest pensions are those of the Basque Country (1,556 gross euros per month), also leading in salaries (2,219). But the second region with the best pensions, Asturians (1,.471), is fifth in labor compensation ( 1,789)
