Taiwan's GDP per capita is over US$30K nominal, and over US$70K PPP. In GDP per capita PPP they're sitting around 13th in the world as of 2023. The minimum wage is over US$800 per month. Trading Economics shows manufacturing average salary of over US$1600 per month. You might have looked at monthly numbers thinking they're yearly. Although even that's low given that the lower bound is lower than minimum wage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago well shit glassdoor does default to monthly instead of yearly. this is their fault and i will get revenge. permalink fedilink source parent
