  A place making A$19.40 an hour and you would think that a Big Mac would cost A$20. (Australian Big Mac = A$4.35)

  You can buy at least 4 Big Macs for an hour's work in a supermarket stacking shelves. How many Big Macs can you get for an hour's work in Cold Storage?

   

  Australia's lowest paid workers have this morning been told their wages will increase by $19.40 per week, raising the total minimum wage to $589.30.
