As stated, the minimum will be $140, but most workers manage to take home much more. Work in a factory isn't fun, but the ones who do it do it for the overtime. That's when you make the real coin (figuratively speaking)coin. Same as many other jobs in the west that only end up paying well with the overtime. Some can't cut it, but for those who can it isn't too bad. Still, working conditions can vary enormously from factory to factory and work is boring...
But it brings in money and workers don't have to slop about in filth planting rice for 12 hours a day. And can wear make-up and nice clothes.
On a side note, I was looking for an agricultural labourer to help mother-in-law plant the rice recently. It was a) Very hard to find someone (women all working in factory, men all busy (after planting own rice) drinking their pocket money.
b) Pretty expensive, considering. It's piece work, so paid by the 'bushel' and works out to around $15 a day, which isn't a bad wedge for Mudshit Village, Kampong Spueshire, even if the work ain't exactly soft.
