Well, 500USD is not a well-paid job, atleast in cities.

Hmmm...well, I have 3 factories in India employing more than 7,500 people and I can assure you that we have very few earning any where near USD 500 per month...

That is not to say that there are not people earning more, that's a fact of life and especially so for the Indian IT sector which I understand is about USD 700 per month, call centre staff average USD 180 per month which is about 2.5 times other jobs openings or 5 times the country's per capita income.

These are not my figures, they are official statistics so don't shoot me down, I have not made them up.
