Salary earned by a dishwasher in the US vs. a professional in Colombia

However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics or Bureau of Labor Statistics recently announced that people who work as dishwashers in this country, they may be paying big dividends as there is talk of some places paying $15 an hour. Which is equivalent to 108 dollars if you take into account that you work eight hours a day.

But this can continue to add up, as long as the person achieves a monthly contract, with breaks during the week and the legal benefits that govern in this country. Since if so, people who perform this job will be able to earn a salary of $2,592.

Although it must be taken into account that this salary in the United States implies that you will spend the same on the basic parts, if the conversion is made in Colombian pesos it might be said that a person in this occupation earns $11,400,000 something much higher than what a professional can earn in the country.

In addition, it is necessary that in this country the minimum wage works in a totally different way than in Colombia, since the state sets some limits on what each worker must pay their employer per hour worked and that varies in different states.
