I have some questions to ask..
What is the average wages of a person working in hcm?
Eg. Working at a restaurant , a sales person at a shopping centre..
I heard is around sgd200/300 a month?
How much is the average living standard for a local ?
Eg. Spending on rental,food n transport?

Pardon me if u guys had already mentioned in previous posts...
The normal working adult (without degree) will earn around 3 million VND a month, roughly around S$182 a month. As most of these workers come from the province to work in the city, they got to rent a room. Rent of room nowadays will take up nearly 1/3 of their monthly salary. So these workers basicall live from hand to mouth every month. A local degree holder (fresh graduate) earns around 4 to 5 million VND a month while a foreign graduate earns around 6 to 7 Million VND a month.
