Hi, anyone know the average hourly rate for unskilled work?

I was offered 7 Euros per hour which I know is low.

Also, any views on what should be the living wage per hour?

The work was arranged last minute and I can supplement it, but I don't want to be ripped off too much.

Thanks for any help!

Really, it seems low, wishing the work was longer than a week or so now!
Perhaps there needs to be a wage increase movement, what with average rents being so high!?

That’s why most locals have more then one job.

Hopefully enough free time to unionize and participate in wage increase activism.

I have a second job too and feel lucky, but I bet most of the buy-to-rent 'locals' probably just live nicely off their incomes...
