Basic Hourly Pay Rate

Thomos
#1
Hi, anyone know the average hourly rate for unskilled work?

I was offered 7 Euros per hour which I know is low.

Also, any views on what should be the living wage per hour?

The work was arranged last minute and I can supplement it, but I don't want to be ripped off too much.

Thanks for any help!

Really, it seems low, wishing the work was longer than a week or so now!
Perhaps there needs to be a wage increase movement, what with average rents being so high!?

Hopefully enough free time to unionize and participate in wage increase activism.

I have a second job too and feel lucky, but I bet most of the buy-to-rent 'locals' probably just live nicely off their incomes...
