109 - "Your premise is false. Your conclusion is false."

Sorry - it is your premis that the purchasing power, when listed in the same currency, is at parity. And it is pretty obvious, if you had a clue. Based on salaries, my driver made $150 per month. So his apartment cost him 6% of his monthly salary. So, an for an equivalent amount of work, an equivalent apartment, at $500 per month, a driver here would have to be paid $8333 per month.

Clue to you -- Cost of Living and Purchasing Power Parity are two different things.

I thought it was obvious.

Ah, so you admit that the numbers you are spouting are bogus, and that your numbers are meaningless when trying to determine how long an individual in various countries has to work to live at the same standard.
