General Worker salaries vary widely by region and economic development. In North America, a General Worker earns between $28,000 to $40,000 USD annually in the US, and $30,000 to $45,000 CAD in Canada ($22,000-$33,000 USD equivalent). These figures reflect higher purchasing power compared to many other regions, though cost of living is also higher.
In Western Europe, such as Germany or the UK, annual salaries range from €20,000 to €30,000 ($21,000-$32,000 USD). Southern European countries like Spain or Italy offer €14,000 to €20,000 ($15,000-$21,000 USD). These salaries often include social security benefits, paid vacation, and public healthcare, which are less common in some other regions.
Asia-Pacific countries show significant disparity. In Australia, General Workers might earn AUD 45,000-55,000 ($30,000-$37,000 USD), while in Southeast Asia, like Vietnam, earnings could be $3,000-$6,000 USD annually. Latin American countries, such as Mexico, offer $4,000-$8,000 USD per year. These lower figures reflect much lower costs of living and different economic structures. Take-home pay is affected by local tax rates, which can differ significantly, impacting net income more than gross wages. Experience and education rarely affect compensation for this role internationally.
