[happy daze john in oz]

There is a bit in the international express this week about median wages which has the nurses listed, do they sound correct ?
Chief Executive. 89,825. Per annum
Doctor. 75,577
Train driver. 52,832
Police officer. 40,856
Teacher. 38,092
Social worker. 33,661
Nurse. 31,867
Car mechanic 26,842
Taxi driver. 26,699
Bricklayer. 25,201
Sales assistant 16,641
Bar staff. 14390

JWS.

On these figures many are paid below the Australian minimum wage which is about $19 an hour now, think UK is around the $11 mark.
Bar staff at that rate are on about $1350 an hour.
Bricklayers here can demand up to $1 per brick laid and a good one can do up to 1000 a day.
Even sales assistants on that scale are below our min wage at about $17.6 per hour.

Little wonder many do it hard there.

Your min is better than I thought but if correct has only been in place for a few years now, here in Oz it became law about 1985.

there is still an uncontrolled economy where you find the cash in hand brigade , fruit picking , tarmac laying etc , where workers may be illegally in the country , working for very low wages , also the time and half , and double time are becoming rarer for weekends and overtime
