각 국의 최저임금을 따져본 결과 러시아와 인접한 국가 조지아에서는 15시간을 일해야 맥주를 마실 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
이번 조사는 국제노동기구(ILO)가 공개한 각국의 최저임금을 가지고 실시됐다. 맥주로 각국의 경제 사정을 짐작해볼 수 있는 ‘맥주지수(beer index)’인 셈이다.
조사에 따르면 방글라데시에서 13.4시간, 리비아에서 7.5시간을 일해야 맥주 한 잔을 마실 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
한국은 0.5시간 일하면 맥주 한 잔을 마실 수 있는 것으로 나타나 미국, 영국, 뉴질랜드 등과 비슷한 최저임금 수준을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

How many hours of minimum wage work it takes to buy beer
Quartz, a U.S.-based online website specializing in business-related news, reported on the emergence of a “Beer Index.”
Based on a comprehensive list of the average price of a domestic draft beer in different countries and minimum monthly wage data from the International Labor Organization, a crowd-sourced database of the price of goods, Numeo made its “Beer Index.”
“We are able to see how long it takes someone making the minimum wage to earn enough to buy a brew at a local bar,” Quartz reported.
Some minimum wages stack up pretty favorably against domestic beer prices, while others do just the opposite. In Georgia, for instance, it takes more than half a day’s work to pay for a pint. In Puerto Rico, it takes only 12 minutes.
