BANGALORE: It is no secret that recent times have been tough all over the globe. Expenses have sky-rocketed, while the living wages have reached a new low. Everyone is feeling the squeeze, and corporate houses have come up with rather unpleasant ways to limit the expenses.

10.  Switzerland–$15, 457 per year

The policy of long-term monetary security and political stability are other plus that has made the country a safe haven for workers.



Skilled workers in this part of the world take home a hale and hearty pay that is in the range of 2,800 to 5,300 Swiss francs, while unskilled workers bag anything between 2,200 to 4,200 Swiss francs.
