REALISTIC Brickie wages???

[Guest fatman]

Reading through lots of old threads, newspapers, job centres etc,

Anyone out there could give me a realistic TAKE HOME WEEKLY wage for a Brickie.... 40 hours??

With the cost of renting over there and waiting to buy (due to poor UK pound), wondering if its possible to get by on one wage for a family of three.

That's a tough question mate, as everybody's lifestyles are different. It would depend on how you want to live and where you want to live. Good luck

I would say on avrage $30 an hour most trades are about that

If you're a PR you should be able to survive using handouts. These include rent assistance, and as all this is based on earnings over the financial year, you should get a nice amount if you arrive partway through.
