Whats the minimum wage where you live?

So what is the minimum wage where you live? I think its about £4.60 in the UK.
Actually it must be a real bummer working in central London for McDonalds.
Imagine, you look out of the window with your nice cardboard hat on, and there outside is a parking meter earning more an hour than you!

It's 116 euros/month => 1399 euros/year
it's about 80 quid => 960 pounds / year

yeah, you are free to feel your superiority in this case

$5.75 an hour. An illegal immigrant will work for $3-$4 an hour; I heard of instances of $2 an hour, a few years back; but keep in mind that's without tax. For most office entry level positions, starting salary is $7 an hour for obvious immigrants and teens and $10 an hour for Americans.

It's not really about the number. It's mostly about price of the rent, food, and clothing. Here, in my area, it's $600 for a studio (one room), over $900 for one bedroom a month. Keep in mind state tax, fed. tax, whatever other tax, plus tax on all purchaces except for food.

 

here the added value tax is 18% for everything except for books for which it is 9% (yay to the eu demand)

 

Oh, also, $100 a night for a hotel of cheap but ok quality. That is, with an iron, shampoo, towels, coffee maker, etc.
The tax on purchaces is, I think, 9% on everything. Now, when we had mayor Giuliani, gods favor him, we had no tax on clothing under $100. F*** Bloomie.

 

In todays news it was that officialy the minimum ammount a human can live by in Latvia is 100ls . minimum sallary is 80ls/month minus income tax which is about 28% I think. if you have children...
clothes cost the same as in London

 

Our taxes sum up to about the same percentage, and no, you can't survive on 5.75 an hour either, kids or no kids. That's been known for a long time. But, I repeat, few people get that amount. As far as I know, it's reserved for students. It's logical, if the HS kid lives with parents, he doesn't need to earn much.

 

"if the HS kid lives with parents, he doesn't need to earn much."

that was the exact logic used to keep women away from equal pay a few decades ago

Your attempt to claim age discrimination is useless and pointless. Two working people are enough to support a family today. A HS kid is not as skilled as an adult, no matter what gender. College kids are a better work force. Age earns respect for good reasons.

Women were paid less for other reasons. Such as, after WWI, many men needed jobs; consequently, a woman was unlikely to get hired unless she said she lived alone. These values became obsolete with the great depression. The reason why women still get paid less is that the society must always pay for conservativism and stupidity.

 

Mmh, minimum wage is in the discussion again, in the near future it should be around 1300-1500 € per month here in Germany. Of course, there are still taxes to be paid.

Now that is nearly nothing... you get 250€ state support per month here (if you are unemployed), plus clothing, food and so on. A student gets up to 350 € per month from the state.

Mmh, we have 16%, 7% for books and 5% for food (well, apples, potatoes and such things.)

Income tax varies according to income, from 20-52% I think, but the tax system is very complicated and there are loads of things you can exclude from the taxes and whatnot.

 

"Your attempt to claim age discrimination is useless and pointless. Two working people are enough to support a family today. A HS kid is not as skilled as an adult, no matter what gender. College kids are a better work force. Age earns respect for good reasons."

people like you in the 50's said
'your attempt to claim sex discrimination is useless and pointless. One working person is enough to sustain a family today. A woman is not as skilled as a man. males earn respect for good reasons.'

 

You're still not reasonable, sorry. There's a difference between an adult woman and a teen boy/girl. What do you want? Teens earning $40 000 a year? What bull, hehe.

 

$7.50 for 16-18yrs
$8.50 for 18+yrs

it works out be roughly half of that in euros

 

not even roughly!
I get 0,6860 Ls for 1 euro
and 0,5300 Ls for one $$$ american

 

7€61/hour (+2.5 days of paid-holidays per month and +10% if the job is for less than a few months)

 

$7.15 here in Washington State
For those outside of US that post monthly minimums, how many days off do you get? In the US there are like 9 days off a year and time and a half over 40 hours/week. Last I checked.

 

No idea how many weeks off we get here in Germany, but I know that max work time per week is about 34-35 hours.
