As an Indian, I find that kinda hard to believe. Is this for a specific industry/profession?

 

[judasmachine]

less personally, but with my fiance, we're above that..... (if that counts)

 

[Miramonti]

Its very surprising given the mass poverty in parts of india.

392,291 Rupees = $8,463

Way above.

 

[I Saw OJ]

I'm right at about the average, give or take a couple hundred dollars.

 

[BlancoNino]

And we complain that we outsource jobs to India. Looks like they need the jobs more than we do.

I make below teh average US salary.

 

[theeedude]

I highly doubt that is their average salary for the country. I call shens.
They wouldn't be coming here to work at 7-11 if they were making that kind of bank over there.

 

[theeedude]

CIA world factbook says their GDP per capita is $3300/year purchasing power parity. Since stuff is cheaper in India, it's even less in real US dollars.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

There was an article in the news here recently. Something like, "The average Indian has to work for around 58 (or 68) minutes to afford a Big Mac."

BUt what they don't tell you is that it costs 287,000 rupees for a mcdonalds value meal. I wish someone told me that before I took the plunge and moved to India.

pretax and pre-401K more

Can I borrow 5 Rupees?

This info was from 2003 for all professions. Its readily available out there.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Sure, but 5 rupees doesn't get you much stuff.

A footlong Chicken Meatball sandwich at Subway is Rs. 130/- A tall glass of Coke to go with it is Rs. 35/-

Obviously it includes only white collar professions!

This is totally wrong information. McDonald's meal is expensive compared to other food joints in India. Being an Indian, I can tell you it is around same if you convert Rupees (Rs.) to USD.

-------------

Finally, you can not compare Indian average salary with US salaries numerically and then deduce about standard of living.

 

[bennylong]

$8,000 for average worker in India? Wow, those guys make a lot of money. The average worker in China make only $1,000 a YEAR. And the white collar workers with college degree in big city like Shanghai only make $1,000 a month.

I'm way above average for India, slightly above national, and signifigantly below my state :/

 

[Chaotic42]

I make well below the average for my state (New York) and a bit below the national average. I guess that's the life of a data center monkey.
