From the article.

o what do jet mechanics make in El Salvador? They start at about $2 an hour.

Interpreter for Employee #1: “The helper gets anywhere from $315 and $320 a month - the helper.

Thats the starting wage. And from wikipedia,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_wages_by_country

El Salvador US$192.10 a month for retail employees; US$187.73 for industrial laborers; US$166.82 for apparel assembly workers; US$89.86 for agriculture industry workers<9[br />
So this starting wage is almost double the national average, pretty good if you ask me.

and this is San Salvador where the facility is located.




A fairly modern city and not so different than many small american cities. These workers live well in this city I would think. Maybe not but in the article you posted it says.

Mechanics with a decade of experience earn about $5 an hour. Around San Salvador, that’s considered a high-paying job.
