Living condition of people of a state is entirely different from another one. It is primarily because of the wages paid to workers(most of them are illiterate). Isn't it?
Let us share minimum wages of workers in each state and find living condition of which one is best and which one is worst.
My state is Kerala. Here wages of a male worker starts from 400-450 and can't get a worker below that. (Sorry, I can't say anything about northern districts, perhaps Abid can say). What about your state? :)

I think it is about the same here in Mangalore. although you do get outside labor mainly those who come looking for work from Bihar and elsewhere for a little less than that. But labor costs have gone up a lot in the past 2-3 years. In my case I need people for garden work since It is far too large to manage by myself especially re-potting the plants and it has become a very expensive affair these days..
Yes I think so as they are educated persons in India when compared to other states.
But wages are high for non-educational purposes like mansion work, plumbing, wiring etc....i.e constructions....
750 rs per day is a big amount...his assistant will get 450 or 500. What else is needed!!!!
Barbers, wiring, plumbing, painting etc earns 1000 or more per day :S :S
It ultimately boils down to the fact that the states paying more have a higher standard of living and the benefits of higher pays are lost in maintaining higher standard of living!
Yes of course I agree...
Mansion workers...start their work at 8.30 or 9 am...not sure.
Will have a small break at 11.30.
Go for lunch at sharp 12.30 and return at 2 pm. They stop work at 5 or 5.15 pm.
So, 750 rupees for 1 mansion worker is very costly here .....
I can't imagine now how I can build my dream home :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

A mason's work is purely manual and not of a regular kind. When you factor in the uncertain nature of his income,his level of fitness, this figure does not look astronomical!

Most of the people who work as mason, carpenters etc come from states where there is not much to do and they live in their own style some times 20 people in a room, cooking on cooperative basis, saving enough and move back to their homes for a few months.
But how many of them save enough I doubt - at least some of the goldsmiths whom I knew working in Mumbai developed certain vicious habits and squandered away their savings in them to return home almost bankrupt!
I know this trade dominated by Bengali experts as they are here also. I have seen their working conditions are too tough as they have to sit in front of fire all the time which is injurious to health. Yes I agree some people develop bad habits.

Yes, I agree...
Though people earn a lot, they spend the lion share of their earnings in beverages :angry: :angry: :angry: . That's why Kerala is just behind Delhi in alcohol consumption!!!!! They have money, so they spend it!!!!
That's why in most Kerala families, ladies have to work to bring up the kids

Living away from their families for a long time,drive them to alcoholism and other vices!

People from other states like Bihar and UP are working here in plenty.
Am saying about Keralites.....
In most families here some people drink a lot of alcohol, not give anything to their family and even beat their wives!!!!!
I have already told in other thread..
My parents are doing fireworks business....and a lot of such ladies are employed there :)
