We measured the work hours/month a typical worker needs to cover a fixed basket (rent, utilities, groceries, transport, essentials). Highlights: U.S. 140.0h (11th of the first 42); winners include Bolivia 80h, Romania 84h. We also list OECD extremes (e.g., Mexico 323.2h, Israel 288.8h) outside the main chart to keep it legible. Method: ICP 2021 price levels + OECD net pay. CSVs linked. Feedback on methods welcome.
