Intro

How Much Is My Labor? is a project that aims to collect data of minimum wage and prices across 46 countries and visualize them. The scope of this project currently includes the member countries of OECD (The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), APEC(Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation), and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Price data of McDonald’s BigMac, Coca-cola, Adidas’s Training pants, IKEA’s Bed Sets, and Dell’s Laptop were chosen to collect, only due to the availability and comparability. In some cases where actual data were not available, estimation were made instead. In the mobile environment, tables may not be shown properly.
