Answer 18

In the UK the rates are as follows:

National Minimum Wage rates from 1 October 2007

Workers aged 22 and over - £5.52 per hour

Workers aged 18-21 -         £4.60 per hour

Workers aged 16-17 -         £3.40 per hour

Accommodation offset -      ÃƒÂ‚£4.30 per day (£30.10 per week)

New National Minimum Wage rates from 1 October 2008

Workers aged 22 and over - £5.73 per hour

Workers aged 18-21 -         £4.77 per hour

Workers aged 16-17 -         £3.53 per hour

Accommodation offset -      ÃƒÂ‚£4.46 per day (£31.22 per week)

The £5.52 works out at about $11.06 in USD, I'm surprised how well that compares...
