Just wondering what people think should be the minimum wage in the states, and can someone actually live on that wage?
In Australia, our lowest paid get minimum $37,500 a year.
They also get:
Average 12 paid public holidays (varies a little depending on which state you are in)
5-8 paid sick days which accumulate if unused
4 weeks paid vacation which accumulates if unused
Long service leave of about a week a year (available after 7 years with same company)
Paid maternity leave for 6 months (paid by government)
No reliance on tips to make ends meet, although we actually do often tip if service is good.

I guarantee I'll tell you the truth and I guarantee I'll tell you what you need to know but I can't guarantee that I'll be telling you anything you want to hear. |
