How Much Do Kids Earn in Your Country?
Dear Kids in the Money Project,
I want to know about your hourly Minimum Wage. USA's Minimum Wage is $4.75 per hour. Would you send us your information for our chart? I got to go. Bye.

Hi. How are you? I'm fine. I never wrote to you guys before. So how are ya! What grade are you in? I'm in fifth grade. I found out that kids in Honduras only get paid 31 cents an hour. Did you know?
Can you find out what is your minimum wage and fill out our chart?

Dear Karina in Brasil,
Hi! My name is Krista. I would like to ask you some questions about the money. I would like to know if the kids make 0.53 cents or does that go for the adults also? We make about $4.75. I agree with you that 0.53 cents is not a lot. I don't make any money. I don't work yet. If adults make 0.53 cents how much do kids make? How old do kids have to be before they can work in a store? Please write back.
Your Friend,
Krista
