Hi,In your country, how much does a good quality general electronics solderer and assembler get?Age 25+.In UK, such a person, after 18 months or so, would get £8.21/hr (9.15 Euros per hour, 10.28$ US, 14.7$ Australia )

That's another 25% on top.

That's another 25% on top.Is that the net wage?Currently, AUD19.49 is approx. 12EUR. Here in France, the net minimum wage is currently 7.87EUR per hour. And there is much pressure to lower it... (And I don't think the cost of living is significantly greater in Australia...)

Treez,It should not be about cost per hour. It should be about productivity. To compete against low cost manufacturing regions, you have to design smart, take full advantage of automation and minimize manual labour content.Jay_Diddy_B
low enough to require heavy handed management
That image is quite big. I find that insulting.

At my local electronics assembler, they almost exclusively have trained technicians do the manual soldering jobs, so they certainly get paid well over minimum wage. The company I worked earlier also has exclusively trained technicians and engineers in electronics assembly for aerospace and defense stuff. There where rumors that dental technicians would consistently do the best solder joints. They where, of course, all paid quite well.
