Santo Domingo.- The National Federation of Traders and Businesses (Fenacerd) says that over the last 40 years the purchasing power of the minimum wage in the country has been reduced by 60% in relation to the price of the products in the basic family basket.
Federation president Ricardo Rosario warned that the salaries currently paid to public and private employees do not match the reality in the country and is below what they earned in 1972.
“In
1972 the daily pay for a worker at the national sugar council (CEA), a
municipal worker or a decentralized company worker was RD$3.20, which bought 32 pounds of rice at 10 cents a pound, while today the daily pay for a worker is
around RD$270, which only buys 13 pounds of rice”, said Rosario addressing the
plenary assembly of Fenacerd members.
Rosario contrasted this situation with the inflated salaries paid to high-ranking government officials and legislators. "It's impossible to think that anyone can live on less than one dollar a day, while they discuss salaries ranging from RD$300,000 to one million pesos per month. We believe this is wrong and it needs to be corrected".

S.
Concho - 4800peso there and back to work( one transfer)
Rent - 5000peso (Fuct-up neighborhood with body shop in front)
Cable+Land Line+Internet - 1800peso
Cell Phone - 1000peso
Food - 5000peso
Preservation of health - 3500
Last but not least, Fukyou money - 3000peso
If you wanna buy some rags, add 3900peso (being very cheap about it)
Total = 24,100peso(2800peso at an outfit a month) Not including schooling of course . This is my dominican tab at 618USD.
If you calculate the income with monthly expenses, the average dominican is in the minus.
I wish my expense was like that in L.I. NY, I have to come up with 2700USD just for Rent , Car Ins., cell phone, grocery, gas, TV/Internet and cell phone, plus DR(618USD)..
Mind you , the average dominican earns less than 350USD. How can anyone be comfortable earning less than what it is required to live comfortably.
OH WHAT A SURPRISE.
I have been saying here for the longest that if not for the PRD destruction of our country's capabilities from 1978-1986 we could had been a first world country. My father was a regular worker and bought two brand new vehicle during the 70's. But tell that to the damn nostalgia communists lovers and the first thing they bring is the few death of their comrade.
"The National Federation of Traders and Businesses"
That's a funny name for "Another Union Douche" Or are traders and businesses the new names for unions now?
high-ranking government officials and legislators... what were the wages back in 1972? how much has it gone up?
No matter how much objective empirical or scientific evidence you produce the PURPLE CLAPPING SEALS will always be in Denial Mode!
Remember, Lie-onel is Human Deity a Demigod and he and everything he has done is Perfect!
