Answer 6

Even if you had your room and board covered that would still be considered low.

Answer 7

No.  That is terrible pay for full time employment - 40 hour wqrk week.  The average minimum wage is $8.50 an hour so if you are working for minimum your salary should be closer to $1400.00 a month.

Answer 8

No. It's very poor and is considered the absolute minimum one person could get by on. That's more or less what a single person would get with social assistance payments, the actual amount varies by province. In BC at least, that person is assumed to spend $325 or so of that for shelter which will buy you a single room where you can't cook and you share a bathroom down the hall, leaving around $200 for everything else--food, bus fare, clothes. And it doesn't quite cover that unless you are very resourceful.

Answer 9

No, not at all and it is below the minimum pay standard if you are referring to a 40 hours work week.  40 hours a week X 4 weeks is 160 hours.  $600/160 = $3.75 hr which is way too low.  $600.00 a week is good that would be $15.00 an hour.

Answer 10

600 a week you could get by but not at 600 a month
