Where do you rank on the global pay scale?
« on: 14 May 2012, 12:51 »
Stole this from the BBC website as I think its a bit of an eye opener when we are whinging about pay!

I know inflation, cost of living etc affects too, but still, interesting find.

Post your results up, see where you rank in the UK and the world, mine is...

Your wage is $2,022. The world average is $1,480.
Your wage is 66% of the United Kingdom average and 137% of the world average.

I checked Ukraine and it says $686 is the average..... and that would give me a decent standard of living (20 cigs are 65p, a litre of vodka is under £2 and petrol is about 80-90p litre)

and for me

Unfortunately as Boney pointed out, you can earn $686 in the Ukraine and live an OK life, try live on that here... pretty pointless comparing your own salary to someone in another country that earns less, but pays less for everything.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
