What is the minimum wage set at where you live? Do you think it's a fair amount?

I am not positive but it was at 7.50/hr. Is it fair, living here, no way. You can't even rent a studio making that little bit of money. The pay here is horrible unless you are in a union, self employed, or a professional. Plumbers get 100/hr. here. Do you believe that?? For a tooth implant, they want 6,000. Our property taxes are low, sales tax is 4%, but they need to give everyone a cost of living raise. At one point because no one can afford to live here, they will have no one to do these menial jobs for little pay. 300 people left the Island of Lanai because of no business. They all move to Vegas where it's cheap to live. Plenty of jobs, etc.

not sure what the minimum wage is , when i was still working in aged care, the basic rate was about $17 p/h one of the lowest paid jobs ,a little extra for weekends and evening work.
considering the
studying involved (at the time i did it, equivalent of 1 year full time study, which i spread over several years),
the responsibility , taking care of people who are dying ,or in advanced dementia ...etc...especially in home support , where you are likely to turn up at some ones home , and could find any situation. and so on ...
and some people i knew were getting $20 p/h for house cleaning, cash in hand .good luck to them , but i think home support workers deserve a better deal.

It looks like many states are about the same.

Roxanna, I'm not sure exactly what is considered good wages for certain types of work, but do know people who earned less for both types you listed.
I cleaned houses with a friend and the wage was ten per hour.

Breezey, they do vary not only from place to place, but from job to job.
Also keep in mind that the Australian dollar is worth about 30% less than the American dollar, so that will be reflected in prevailing wages as well.

I have started a cleaning busness but these are condo's and I get 100 a condo or more depending how dirty it is. You can make 100 dollars in just a few hours. Thats the going rate here.
