عبارت انگلیسی
wage
معنی و توضیح
The word “wage,” in this podcast, means the money that one receives for one’s work, especially when paid by the hour: “Shannon asked her boss for a wage increase.” The phrase “minimum wage” refers to the lowest amount per hour that employers are allowed to pay their employees: “The minimum wage in Ohio is $8.10 per hour.” A “living wage” refers to wages that covers the cost of the minimum basic things that a person needs to live comfortably: “The minimum wage might be enough money in this rural area, but it would not be a living wage in a more expensive place like New York City.” Finally, a “wage freeze” is a period when the government or a company refuses to increase the amount paid to workers: “The federal government is establishing a two-year wage freeze to try to reduce its budget.”
