Minimum wage rates around the globe..

As promised yesterday, below is a list of minimum wage rates around the globe. I took these rates from online resources, so while they may not be 100% up to date, they should be pretty accurate.

You can see that for now I've only listed the lower end of the spectrum, but I'm working on the rest and should have it up before the end of the week.

Now maybe some freelancers will realise why there should be no 'minimum rate' set on a marketplace such as oDesk.
