Minimum wage in Spain is 655 Euros?Quote from: "iron horse jockey":2r4ml1j_th:
I looked over a couple of the numbers (mainly Canada and the US), and the numbers do seem fairly accurate, but obviously didn't take the time to verify each and every one...

This is pretty cool, but since minimum wage doesn't reflect the average salary, PPP would be a more precise indicator, meanwhile my brother says Hong Kong has the cheapest McD prices based on currency exchange rates, just $3.20 CAD for the Big Mac.Quote from: "Zetsu"
The problem is wages can vary drastically, but the minimum wage is kind of an easy way to measure this by, since even if you take any shitty old job, you would at least earn that much...

That's for sure, but in Hong Kong ppl with professional careers or business owners can earn more b/c the company don't have to waste money on minimum wage workers, I think a good indicator is to use the GDP per capita or better PPP instead, can help reflects the average person's purchasing ability in any country.

The reason BOTH Australia and New Zealand top the chart for the shortest period of time is that there is a mandated minimum wage that employers must pay their employees. I think its around $23,000 per annum, at an hourly rate calculated from that amount. That is for permanent staff only, though. This is why Australians don't tip. No need.Quote from: "Bricktop"
I thought your minimum wage was higher than that..
Our new provincial minimum wage coming into effect later this year is fifteen dollars per hour or $31,200 per year based on 2080 work hours in a year.

Still, its not a lot when bills are increasing in size almost daily. You certainly won't be buying a house on that income.

You're right. It's $34,980. Hence there's no need to tip.Quote from: "Bricktop"

Most servers in Alberta would prefer a lower minimum wage with tipping..
They get to keep more of their money that way.

Which is why we don't tip. Why should we pay tax, then give them money which they don't declare? Dumb idea.

It's good for small business owners who don't have to raise wages when their margins are razor thin. Quick, big increases in minimum wages in some provinces have resulted in small businesses shedding thousands of service jobs in Ontario anyway.

Servers make more money with a low minimum wage rather than provincial governments mandating higher minimum wages..
Seoul suggested taking minimum wage workers off of tax rolls entirely to put more money in the pockets of workers and business owners.

It aint supposed to be a lot..
Just to pay rent, bills, buy food etc.
Live modestly and you make it to the end of the month.
You want better pay.. Stop going over where the fence is lowest.

Precisely.
Low income earners should not have to be part of the direct taxation system.

Rapid increases in minimum wage are poison to small business owners.
