As you can see, thousands of construction jobs are open. Moreover, if you think that the salaries of these jobs can be demanded here, think again. Let’s take a construction worker for example. Just to be clear, we just want to compare the salaries of jobs here in the Philippines and there in New Zealand.
A construction worker here in our country doesn’t earn that much and we can’t argue about that. However in New Zealand, a carpenter can earn up to 2, 400 NZD (New Zealand Dollar) every month! If we convert it into our own currency, that’s around Php89, 000.00! So what do you think about that? Not yet satisfied? Well a laborer in New Zealand can earn up to NZD 3, 520. Conversion? Well, that’s just Php131, 000.00 a few thousand shy from Php150, 000.00 which is better than a salary of managers here in our country.
