NBC news has a piece of a story on minimum wages, listing how long a minimum wage worker has to labor to buy a Big Mac meal:

Wikipedia has the full story, a list of minimum wage by country (not pretty!):

As it turns out, Amazon's US warehouse wages are in the top tier, right there with New Zealand and France.

The only countries with a significantly higher minimum wage are Australia and, amusingly... Luxembourg.
