Anne O'Loughlin and Matt Howard recently made the move from Western Sydney to Tasmania.
"Initially, we rented a place and that was certainly more than we expected to pay," Ms O'Loughlin said.Here's what people in your state make … and spend Canberrans take home the highest weekly wages , and Tasmanians the lowest . What's more, the Tasmanian weekly wage is about $200 lower than the national average.
Canberrans pay the most to turn on the lights, with their average electricity bills $1,967 a year. They're followed closely by Tasmanians, who fork out $1,945.And when it comes to fuelling up the car, Northern Territorians are paying top dollar for petrol, followed by Queenslanders and Tasmanians.Much of the wage disparity comes from the composition of each state's economy.
While Tasmania's unemployment rate of 4.5 per cent is relatively low, the state's on third spot in terms of underemployment, at 8.2 per cent. But Professor Vespignani believes the pandemic has presented Tasmania with a real chance to turn things around.
We are the India of Australia and lower pay and same living cost as the main land has been that way for years.
Not many people would earn that in a year after tax , so he must have been on a huge salary.
My heart bleeds for them.
In the real world ALL of the mentioned so-called averages are way out of reach to the regular Australian. Not even close. And we wonder why there's diversity?
