How many minutes to earn the price of a Big Mac?
http://www.economist.com/daily/chartgallery/displaystory.cfm?story_id=14288808
a UBS report published this week offers a handy guide
to how long it takes a worker on the average net wage
to earn the price of a Big Mac in 73 cities.
Fast-food junkies are best off in Chicago, Toronto and Tokyo,
where it takes a mere 12 minutes at work to afford a Big Mac.
By contrast, employees must toil for over two hours to earn enough
for a burger fix in Mexico City, Jakarta and Nairobi.
