$16 in Australia doesn t buy as much stuff as it does in the U.S. When you adjust Australia s hourly minimum wage for buying power, or Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), that $16 is
worth only about $9.77 -- which is still quite a bit higher than the U.S. hourly minimum wage of $7.25.
The country with the highest  real minimum wage is Luxembourg: $10.37 after being adjusted for PPP.
Only nine countries had a higher real minimum wage than the U.S. , according to OECD data.
Here s a map that compares the real minimum wages of 26 countries:
