This bar chart shows how long a cleaning employee has to work to earn enough money to purchase one Big Mac, in eleven Asian / Pacific countries. The chart also shows the actual price of one Big Mac (in Us $). The overall thing I noticed is that most poor countries’ employers have to work long hours in order to get only one Big Mac sandwich. Pakistan is the poorest country and cleaners have to work 14 hours, followed by India with 9 working hours and then Sri Lanka with approximately 6 hours. However rich countries such as Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, and New Zealand as well as Malaysia cleaners have to work fewer hours compared to poor countries to get one Big Mac. What really made me surprised is the Philippines which is a poor country but workers don’t have to work long hours in order to get one Big Mac.
In conclusion, as we all notice, in poor countries where the income is low workers have to work long hours to get one Big Mac whereas in rich countries they work fewer hours.
