Direct comparisons of exact wages/salaries between countries aren't very accurate, as I'm sure one can buy a substantial amount more in Vietnam with 3.50 than one can in the United States. I'm not saying it's not still less, but the effect is much decreased when one looks at the purchasing power generated by the money, rather than the absolute dollar amount.
