Global Wage Wars: How Minimum is Too Minimum?
Who Pays the Most? The World’s Top 20 Minimum Wages
Max Bennett and Lisa Vega peel back the layers on global minimum wages, from Luxembourg’s plush €14.86 per hour to Estonia’s “buy-one-coffee-a-day” €4.86.
Why are some nations making it rain for workers while others hand out crumbs? In this episode, we dissect the economic, social, and political forces shaping these wage gaps, revealing how they impact cost of living, labor rights, and global competition. Expect sharp insights, biting humor, and an unapologetic look at who’s winning (and losing) the global wage war.
Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series. I recognize the critiques around AI-generated content and the potential for digital clutter but invite you to take a listen on your next walk or drive and see what you think.
