Are you in school or something?

Though I must say the global average is higher than I expected. It works out to a little over $9/hour full time.

That average doesn't say anything about other compensation like social programs or health coverage. For instance, I think employers match your social security contributions here in the US, and many subsidize health care costs. My wife has a company car that doesn't show on her paycheck in any way. I suspect there are things like that all over the place.

Also keep in mind that the disclosure in the site states that it is for wage-earners only, meaning it does not account for the self-employed or the unemployed. The global average wage is much lower when those are factored in.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

Your wage is 186% of the United States average and 411% of the world average.

Im the poorest person on AT

Much higher, but I don't like to talk about money so I won't post the numbers.

Read the article.. they explained how this works.

Also, they include standard of living and a few more parameters into the mix. Like 20,000 INR = $393, but in that pay scale 20,000 INR = $1,308.

Which means a person who earns $393 in the India may have the same standard of living if he earns $1300 in the US.

 

[Krazy4Real]

I'm above average.

 

[Zargon]

Your wage is 66% of the United States average and 145% of the world average.

[Fritzo]

Wow, I'm exactly average. I feel so plain and common now

 

[SlitheryDee]

Your wage is 83% of the United States average and 182% of the world average.

I'm self employed, but I pay myself a salary that's good enough to live on.

 

[Joseph F]

My wages, or lack thereof, are none of AT's damn business.

 

[IronWing]

This is why we need protectionist policies. I do not care to compete with China and India on a wage basis, thank you.

[PricklyPete]

I came in to see e-peens...left underwhelmed.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Yikes - when I threw in my bonus it threw me over 1000% -

best to leave that off the forums.

They really punish Canada in this thing. If I put my country as Canada I get (234/430). If I put my country as US I get (255/563).

Does a Canadian dollar spent in Canada only have 75% of the purchasing power of a US dollar spent in the US?
