$5.50US per hour

the majority of non corporate americans make around $10US per hour

i would almost bet other places have a higher base pay rate, to compensate for the higher gas prices

10 us dollars is almost 8 euro.
I guess it's about the same what the average worker gets paid an hour over here in Belgium/Holland..

Nowadays, it ain't worth the drive.

i live in belgium, 2 minutes drive from the Dutch border and about 12 minutes drive from the german border....

lucky guy...

sure i'm lucky.
I can eat belgian wafels for breakfast,dance around windmills with my wooden shoes on in the afternoon, and have bratwurst and sauerkraut for dinner....all in one day....

Here in southwest Germany it's about 1,40-1,44 Euros for the cheapest petrol, at it was 8 hours ago. I hope it's still a bit lower in Switzerland as I go back next week. One advantage of working in Germany was that you could drive the Autobahn as fast as you want but it isn't that much fun anymore if you know that your car needs over 25 liters per 100 km at 250 km/h.
