VENEZUELA, HOW TO SURVIVE

In Venezuela, the mere fact of going to work is more expensive (transportation, clothing, food) than the income generated, which is why many employees prefer to leave their jobs. The same happens with university students, who see the work of studying "uphill", since their income is lower than the expenses they generate.

There are those who decide to leave in order to go in search of basic food that they can then resell, those who are absent due to the shortage of cash and who realized that the daily cost in public transport is greater than their own income.

Currently, in Venezuela it is usual to see Venezuelans abandoning their formal jobs to devote themselves to other informal jobs or not engage in any type of productive activity and subsist at the expense of some type of financing granted by the State.

For many Venezuelans, the choice is between going to work in exchange for a few bolivars a day, or looking for less and less products that are sold at controlled prices to be resold on the black market; taking into account that a bus ticket is capable of being consumed a salary.

The integral daily income, equivalent to 26,583 bolivars (USD $ 0.13), barely covers the purchase of a coffee. In Venezuela, the basic salary is 248,510 bolivars (USD $ 1,2) and the voucher with food tickets is 549,000 bolivars (USD $ 2,7), which gives a total of USD $ 4 monthly income, while the basic basket family, exceeds 25 million bolivares (USD $ 125).

The minimum wage is insufficient even to go out to work. The lowest fare for a bus ticket is 4,000 bolivars (USD $ 0.02), so that Venezuelans who earn the minimum established by law and must use the transpote units are forced to spend most of their salary on transportation .

This time I present a little more of my reality and how the Venezuelan is currently working. I hope you understand a little what I wanted to share with you! Greetings.
