An experienced secretary in the UAE makes $1,000 per month, with minimal health care coverage. $43,264 would be a fortune, not a "living wage".

And how does that "experienced secretary" live? Have you ever been to house? Ever seen her car? Determined the condition of her teeth; her health?

Maybe you can list the criterion used to determine what constitutes a "living wage" in Washington, and how many flat screen TVs, DSL connections, 3G Verizon phones and the level of accomodation necessary for "living"?

Trust me, when I tell you that $43K for a family of 4 is not a living wage in WA state. The median rent for a two bedroom in the Seattle metro area is greater than your "experienced secretary's" salary.
