I'm trying to get an idea of the average wage for certain jobs in the DR.
If you know the monthly salary of a person working in the DR, can you please post the info below. I'm not looking for details, just the basics you see below.

e.g.

Gardener - RD$4,000 monthly
Waitress - RD$100 per hour, + tips
Graphic Designer - RD$15,000 monthly
Chef - RD$12,000 monthly
Steet fruit vendor - RD$200 per day
Bar Owner - RD$35,000 monthly

etc etc etc...


Note:
This thread is not about questions or comments, so if your post doesn't follow the format above it will be deleted, so don't waste your time looking like an idiot to the rest of us :)

Texas Bill

Driver-General handy-man-does all------RD$7000/mo+room&board+medical
Maid of all work------------------------RD$6000/mo+room&board+medical

Driver has been with me for 3 years
Maid is my "sobrina" and is still a student.

And Yes, I'm probably paying too much according to some, but loyalty and honesty do make a difference! I consider both to be "family".
