What percentage of Trinidadians making over $50,000 a month?

[Dohplaydat]

Not talking salaries alone, this includes from side business and outside things like rental etc.

The reason I'm asking is that my friend who's doing a PhD outside of Trini in something with socialology and economics, is saying that at least 15% of the working population, are earning 50k+ a month.

He is basing this of some weath distribution stats for trinidad, that he claims, is very accurate.

I find that hard to believe (not because I'm a sufferer) but I work in a company of 200 ppl and at best maybe 10 people earn that kind of money per month (due to renting out properties).

I can't see 15% as realistic at all. Anyway, it ended in an argument, hence I'm coming here (not Facebook) with this question.

2nrs appear smarter than the average social media user in Trinidad.

Anyone have an statistics, or any bank workers here who can chime in on whether he is way off base or not.

Just to clarify, he is saying 15% of all earning individuals, not households. If it was households that'd be reasonable I guess, still way more than I'd think but still better.

[teems1]

OP's friend thinks 195,000 people in T&T make 50k or more.

I think it would be close to 19,500

[Dizzy28]

19,500 is too small. He is including unofficial sources of income and side hustles.

There is a lot of wealth in this country and there are alot of wealthy people.

90 month loans at a 40% debt ratio allows anyone with a 25k JOINT salary to get whatever the hell they please

The state enterprise system is a different beast altogether though.

[tr1ad]

is rob yuh want to rob people OP

[Dohplaydat]

is rob yuh want to rob people OP

No, and even if I did, how this helping me?

I want to learn where I stand on the earning scale.

I cannot see this being anywhere close to reality. Maybe 1 in 50 people making that kinda money here.

[Cantmis]

Manage your money !

[Dave]

There is no set earning scale as each person and their education and experience are different.

[Chimera]

all them IML chairmen and plattinum and pipslord and sniper shooters etc raking in the money

check them for more info

[88sins]

OP, your friend got not a clue what he talking about.
The only ppl that "side hustle" to make that kinda money here is narcotics, and illegal activities ain't a "side hustle" On average I'd say around 5% of the working population pulling down $50K/m by legitimate means (daily jobs, daily side hustle, occasional gigs)

Your friend studying how many ppl making how much, but what he should be studying is why the VAST difference exists between those making 50k/m and the rest of the working population that not making that per year. Because theres a large percentage of working people here that don't make 8% of that.


Always remember fellas, there's a difference between being employed and being gainfully employed.

[abbow]

actually alot of "general managers" in medium sized businesses take home 50k plus perks...

I know of several and have seen their employment offers and eventually pay slips..

[speedmelter]

It have men in IML making 5000 usd per week. Ask narenzorce


Make sure you standing when you ask about doh cuz the amount of money you will find out that you can potentially earn will make you fall off your chair.

Put on some tight clothes too cuz when you hear the kinda figures you gonna feel small

[screwbash]

man in aranguez making $400 000 ah month in renting apartments.

[rspann]

Op. Study what you making. When you count other people money it will have you feeling inadequate.
