Jakarta –
Salary is one of the important things to consider when looking for a job. However, each country has a different salary system.
In Indonesia itself, the wage system as part of the wages received for workers is determined by the Municipal Minimum Wage (UMK) or the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP), the amount of which is determined by the government.
Unfortunately, salaries remain relatively low compared to many other countries around the world. Some of them belong to the category of countries with the highest salaries in the world.
Interestingly, there are also several countries around the world that apparently offer a lower average salary than Indonesia. So, which countries are on the list of countries with the highest salaries in the world or vice versa?
