What are the minimum wages in your country?

[Sanjeev]

The government of my country are not helping matters and that is why the youth do not depend on them for anything

That's very upsetting. The government of any country should take up such issues. Maybe the economy of the nation decides it, I am not sure though.

The minimum wage in my country is quite poor we are believing that the incoming government will review this and make it a lot better for people

 

[Hate2Wait]

The government have their tie-ups with most businesses and likes to help them by keeping the minimum wages low and even if they are high those companies pay less and cover everything and never get caught

 

[RicAngelo]

It depends on the region or city. In my city around $135. Still low but you can live with it if youre single.

If this per month? A family might have to look for more avenues of making money with this

Yes, but its Minimum, a lot of people that i knew here gain more than that.

Pls let's not talk about the minimum wages in my country. Nigeria has remains of the countries that its workforce is poorly paid. No government has ever redress this palaver.

If they gain more then it is a lot better. it is always good to look for extrs means of making money it is always needed.

Imd

Indeed, we have to make extra money from another side job.

Even the justice system in some countrres have been compromised it is that bad.

You are absolutely right. This is our world.

i just wished this can be changed people are just doing the most because they can which is really appalling

 

[LoukiaCharilaou]

This is the problem and those that are not educated and don't know how to earn online cannot even make a penny outside

This is true. There must be more opportunities for not educated people.

 

[Bisolami]

That is honestly insanely low to me.

I believe the minimum wage here is $15.50 an hour. That averages out to $2,686.66 a month and that doesn't include premium pays such as stat days, holidays, and overtime pay.
Even that I find to be really low and would find to be difficult to live off of.

For USD Conversion at the time of writing, that's $11.39 an hour. (Miss the days where CAD equaled the US Dollar)

This is why you find a lot of Nigerians in other countries simply because they want to make ends meet. There are so many of my friends and foreign countries that are working there to make good money

 

[oldbuddy]

Minimum Wage in the US is $15 per hour, but employers need to pay more than that to obtain employees that can do the job in a lit of cases. That's $600 a week or $2,580 a month. That's more than we get paid on Social Security and it meets our basic needs, so I don't think it needs to be raised. If anything, workers need to have ways to get trained to earn more and not depend on a government handout for their entire lives.

 

[Bisolami]

The annoying part of it is that the government don't care about the lives of the Citizens. This is why you hear so many bad things about Nigerians because they are trying to make money by every means

 

[Shavkat]

In my country, minimum wages depend on what place you are living in or working. If they are working in big cities, it is expected that the wage rate is higher.

There are even some people that are lower than the minimum wage per month and it is very annoying

I wonder why everyone is complaining about its government handling on minimum salary issue. Imagine average workers in Nigeria are earning daily income of less than $1 which is very bad in this hard economy.

it is really sad and we are all in this. This too shall pass because I believe it shall be well too.

Here in our country, there are still workers who receives almost $6 a day,that's roughly $140 in a month, especially in some areas in the provinces here.
