IDK in the US, however in Italy chinese factories, restaurants and shops pay about 4-5 euros/hour, sometimes even less, so not much more than the 3 dollars paid by Foxconn.

Keep in mind, these are typical ranges:

$11-25 per hour for restaurant jobs. Depends on geographic location and the specific job.

Unlicensed construction or gardening labor is $11-35 an hour. Really depends on how one calculates earnings. Licensed construction (including plumbing, electrical, roofing, etc) work is about $20-$60 an hour.

Fundamental aspect of economics is that specialization increases earning potential. It's not unheard of to make $80-300 an hour doing high earning restaurant work in an urban area. Similarly it's possible to make ~$70-90,000 a year doing unlicensed construction if the worker knows how to maximize their earning potential.



Some of the posters over the last few days have put forward weird delusions that China is the only place in the world to make decent wages and the US is no better than a failed African state. Its unproductive to mention names, but this weird obsession is no different than overly nationalistic Jai Hind Indians who think their country is best at everything.

Resident physicians make 25$/hour in US lol. And top tier specialty attendings make ~200$.

Those are jobs that hundreds of Americans fight for with only a couple managing to get it.

But lol sure 80-300$/hour for being an illegal busboy at some random Asian restaurant. Have you ever even had a job?

That poster is you, except for America LMAO

America is truly the land of milk and honey, 150$+ an hour for washing dishes. Meanwhile your surgeons also get paid 150$ an hour lmao. Guess I should tell my general surgeon contact from US that he should stop being a surgeon and start waiting tables.

If I was eating now I'd spit out my food because of how ridiculous you are. Totally out of touch with real life.

Even for high end restaurants, at most you are making a little over $100,000 a year. But such job is very demanding, most often you would only be able to work 3-4 days per week as your body needs to rest and recover. In addition, you can't get these jobs without knowing someone.

As for Asian restaurants, average wages including tips are $5000 to $6000 per month if your English is fluent. Working in NYC and LA would be making less than those working in other remote states as there are more workers available in NYC. However, these are pandemic wages which have come down somewhat.
