Poland’s minimum hourly wage has, for the first time, surpassed the federal minimum wage in the United States. On 1 January, the minimum wage in Poland rose to 30.50 zloty per hour before tax, which at the average exchange rate so far this year is $7.35
Yeah, like I said, been there, done that. All that’s well and good, but there’s no need to make a milestone of the US in particular. At least set the bar one step higher, which Wikipedia tells me is actually Lithuania. I find that puts things in perspective a bit better, honestly. And if you need a fancy big economy Japan is just a couple steps up that ladder.
