Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has released a report on wages in Singapore 2008.
How is your current occupation wages paying you, is it up to standard with the Singapore salary average seen below? If not, please seek employment elsewhere eh.
As for me, I’m pretty content with my current job, as if I were to compare my wages with similar salary scale, my job pretty much takes less more time, lesser accountability, gives me creative freedom, more time to focus on personal development and finally I’m loving my job!

no 76 is incorrect…. its either they have been working long in the service… Cos if they are newly recruited, its way way lesser than tt…Staff nurses and enrolled/assistant nurses are nt the same as in salary wise and job scope too and also educational level…. that salary is more fitting for a staff nurse and not assistant nurse….
not bad ah karaoke pub manager…work at nite only summore, havent add the commission from clients…hhhmmm
Some information listed may not correct. For example fund manager only getting 8,762/month ? If so, I will be out of my line for long time.. Anyway, tanks for the time.
