hello! i was wondering what the average salary of middle class Dominicans are, as well as how much would a digital artist, writer, art professor in Dominican Republic make? Also how much would a recent graduate in the Art field be able to pull in assuming they get work in the field.
For example if i wish to hire an experienced digital artist to draw up come comics for me vs an inexperienced one how much would i be spending? in addition same goes for writers and art professors.

Graphic artists in the DR mainly work by the project, and are lucky to make RD$12-15,000 a month tops.

Wow that is, unexpected.
i was recently informed that public school teachers are pulling in 40,000-70,000 pesos but i still don't have information on the writers. i am assuming they would be paid on a project basis as well. what is the experience over there? what are average salaries like? i am extremely interested, especially salaries in the creative field.

i think you had better consult your sources when they are sober. 70,000 for a public school teacher is high comedy. in this case, you were not informed..you were misinformed

High comedy indeed it is. 70,000 RD pesos is closer to a typical annual salary of 120,000 RD here than it is a monthly salary.

I agree with the above comment about it being on project basis (also with gorgon about finding a sober source of information).
I do have an artist for comic work I can refer you to if you like pm me and I'll give you the contact info

If you can work for EU/US salary via the Internet, then you can do well here. If you are looking to do work locally, please reconsider.

I assume you ARE planning of having these subcontractors work in your presence, and you have legally registered your corporation in the DR with intent to pay all taxes and labor costs, right?
