Looking For Work? Forget About Bulgaria!

Several European countries are debating their minimum wage laws these days, but the rates they are debating are certainly different than in the U.S.!  If you want to move to Europe and are looking for a career in, say, the fast food field, I'd strongly recommend you settle in Luxembourg (find it on the map; it's worth it!).  Minimum wage there: $14.25 per hour.  Sounds like a good time to bone up on the French and/or German skills; how much do you really need to know to work at McDonalds??
Now, there are several nations all with wages around the same, to include Germany, France, and Holland.
On the other hand, I'd strongly urge you to stay away from southeastern Europe, where things change dramatically.  In Slovakia, for example, the minimum wage is around $2.65.  But it gets worse.  Rounding out the list of European nations is Bulgaria.  I've been there and have actually seen a McDonalds in downtown Sofia, so I know that there must be some jobs offering minimum wage.  How much will you make?  A whopping $0.98 per hour.  It may not sound like much, but just think how much you'd get back from the IRS every year...
