I get paid 40 cents a mile. I have days I turn in over 600 miles and days I turn in less than 200. I assume this year I will make perhaps what an average teacher with tenure makes in the US. However, because I am paid by the mile I don't really know until the end of the year what I make.
All figures are adjusted to reflect variations in the cost of living from one country to another. According to ILO the World average wage in Purchasing Power Parity dollars is $1,480.
Let's put the world's average salary-in PPP dollars-of $1,480 a month, or almost $18,000 a year, in context: 1  It is less than half the average salary of the UK and the United States, where average monthly earnings are just over $3,000 a month, or around $37,000 a year. It is twice the average salary of Bulgaria, and the same as the average salary in Poland. 2  The country at the bottom of the average earnings league is Tajikistan, where the average wage is about $2,700 a year-while the country out on top is Luxembourg with average earnings of around $48,000 a year.
