salaries and wages

YAA THATS A RIGHT STATEMENT.IF A PERSON DOES HIS WORK SO HE OR SHE SHOULD BE PAYED ACCORDINGLY.ONE SHOULD NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A LABOURER NO MATTER WHAT THE JOB IS. THERE USED TO BE TIMES WHEN LOW SALARY WAS A COMMON THING.IN NOW-A-DAYS THE STATUS HAS IMPROVED TO A GR8ER EXTEND BUT STILL THERE ARE SOME REMOTE AREAS WHERE LABOURERS R STILL EXPLOITED.

me too all.... thanks for yr discussion.. advance very very happy new year... have a nice day....

That should be the case. But does it happen in real world? If only the Employer is good a worker gets his/her dues properly otherwise it's tough time.

In the USA, the cost of living in your area also effects the wages. I live in an area where the cost of living is pretty low. Now, someone whoe lives, lets say Miami, where the cost of living is higher, will probably make 5-10 dollars more an hour then I do.

yes salaries are wages

I started the discussion and i want to add to it,the minimum wage in my country Nigeria is nothing to write home about.i am a graduate of urban and regional planning,there is no job readilly available so youths are basically suffering and smilling over here.some other person sayed if you are under paid, you quit ? it is not easy fellows.
