How much is a $70,000.00 USD a year job worth in Uruguay?

Question

If you lived in Montevideo, Uruguay how much is $70,000.00 worth to you in USD? Is that like a $100,000.00 a year job in America? What is the average salary in Montevideo, Uruguay? Urls, would be nice. Thank you.

Answer 1

I live in Uruguay and I can tell you that is a huge salary here. Currently 1 USD is about 19 "uruguayan pesos" so that would mean around 110.833 uruguayan pesos a month which is a high salary. To give you an idea we are five in my family and my parents combined income in a month is around the half of that. The minimum wage is around 3000 uruguayan pesos by law, but actually it´s impossible to live with that amount of money, it´s one month´s rent of the worst, small, filthy, dark room in a pension.
