Brazil - minimum wage, pay for jobs, etc.?


Travel Info
I know that the minimum wage in Brazil is now R$400 per month (about $200 USD). But, what is the pay for typical jobs?

Like...

Working at the front desk at a hotel...
Working as a waiter in a restaurant...
Working as a salesman in a store in a shopping mall...
Working in a bank or for the government...

Would these jobs be minimum wage or would they pay more????

Travel Tips
1 - Working as a salesman in a store in a shopping mall... : R$ 500,00 to R$1.500,00 (US$ 250.00 to us$ 750.00);
2 - Working at the front desk at a hotel...: I dont know;
3 - Working as a waiter in a restaurant... (? to US$ 800,00); and,
4 - Working in a bank or for the government...R$1.500,00 to R$ 20.000,00 (US$ 750.00 to us$ 10,000.00) or more, if a high executive (more than US$ 30,000.00 a month).
Others
The minimum wage in Brazil is now R$350 per month!
I work as a forest consultant. My wage is BRL 2,500/month, or USD 1,225/month.
Minimum wage os R$380,00 as of April.
The jobs you refer to are regulated by unions, therefore they have higher wages for sure.
for the governement only if you go trhu a civil servent test, that is all divided and hard to pass, pays a LOT more.
Front desk does not pay very well, but averages R$ 1200,00
but there is a lot of comission on sales of tourism packagers, everybody pays comission to front desk, taxis, tour operatiors, even jewellery shops, boutiques, etc...
Waiter depends on %, tips.
Sales depends on comission
banks aparently do not pay well, unless they are Governement banks, in which case a test is needed.
Bear in mind language skills are valued here.
A Lot of need for english teachers, translators, etc. but for some you need good portuguese.
As an English teacher you can make something like 1500/2000 a month.
It all depends on which city you are talkin abaout.

I麓ll give ya S茫o Paulo, since it麓s the biggest

Front Desk - R$900 - R$ 1300
Waiter - R$400 - 1200 + tips
Salesman in Mall - R$ 500 + comission
Bank - well this is so open... Could be minimum wage or 20k a month The richest brazilians are bankers

Governament - open again few hundred or millions
In Sao Paulo

Working at the front desk in a fancy hotel: U$250.00 to U$350.00. ( don't belive if someone tells you is more than that!, some brazilians are too proud and unrealistic when they talk about their own country with foreigns.)

Waiter in a fancy restaurant: U$250,00 plus tips, (is not like in the USA, in Brazil it is very difficult to get tips)

Salesman in mall: U$250.00 plus comission.

Working for the government: it depends it can go from U$180.00, up to U$15.000,00

The first 3 jobs are working class, you can imagine how difficult is being a working class in a third world country...
Well... Our country isn麓t the best of the world. This thanks to politics and to economic sistems. Our people can麓t have a good life cause the government don麓t give value to the education.
The education is the base for a powerfull economy.
