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 )
How much in your country?
sleemanj:
Minimum wage in NZ is 17.70 NZD (equivalent 9.37 GBP, 11.73 USD currently), so at least that, and probably not much more realistically.
Edit: Forgot it went up recently.

Minimum wage in Australia is AU$19.49 per hour, illegal to hire anyone under that for any job at any age.
Want to hire then as a casual? 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... :clap:
(And I don't think the cost of living is significantly greater in Australia...)
For the job treez mentioned, it depends on the industry and company's size, but I'd say it's about 25% over the minimum wage on average over here. Can be higher in very specialized industries (such as medical or aerospace...)

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.
