The lowest hourly rate most people would accept to make the job worth their time. It is higher than the government's minimum wage, which is always too low to afford basic needs.
Company: "We offer a competitive rate above minimum wage! $27/hr"
Candidate: "meh, barely the de facto minimum wage in Sydney. I get more on welfare doing nothing"
Company: "Why does noone want to work for us???"

Wage can be a jerk and an asshole if you tempt him. He’s very sarcastic all of the time, but if you’re one of his friends then he’ll know when you’re being serious. He’s good to have conversations with when you just need someone to make you laugh, or angry.

Its the pay that you get from a job that pays so low that you qualify for some type of government public assistance and if you didn't get the public assistance to go along with the job, you would not be able to subsist on the job alone. These types of jobs typically pay up to $3.00 above minimum wage.
