QR5 is $1.37. I don't know if that's a basic wage or not, but I think it's about what my boss pays her nanny.
But, of course, it's more complicated than that. Many foreign workers (like us) have their housing provided by their employers, so their salary doesn't have to cover housing costs, which are a hefty share of the cost of living here. The downside of that, naturally, is that not all foreign workers get the luxurious digs we ended up with.
