On these figures many are paid below the Australian minimum wage which is about $19 an hour now, think UK is around the $11 mark.
Bar staff at that rate are on about $1350 an hour.
Bricklayers here can demand up to $1 per brick laid and a good one can do up to 1000 a day.
Even sales assistants on that scale are below our min wage at about $17.6 per hour.
Little wonder many do it hard there.
