Well I guess from everyones response that the survey is heavily skewed to their capture method.

website survey means nothing. the ministry of labour would be better as working out pay assuming there was no bias.

Pay is nothing if the cost of living is high, just ask those who were lured with the promise of no income tax only to discover that they need the extra money and more to maintain any standard.

The labourers who may be unskilled but are so badly paid on the premise that its better than back home.

I don't understand why this fuss about higher wages if so many companies were retrenching their staff to take on cheaper labour from elsewhere including UAE.

to get a more accurate reflection of salaries would mean you would have to ask those privileged few at the top if they would willingly divulge their salaries, what you think is the response ?!.

the issue of increase in fianancial sector workers has been covered before and like the idea of rents going down, i'll believe it when i see it.
