Throughout the years, you've probably heard how much fruit pickers at the farms in Australia or New Zealand make in a month, and most of them earn more than our monthly salary.
Just recently, a Malaysian girl, Kay, took to her TikTok @sis_kayy to share how much she really earns in a month as a tomato picker at a farm in Auckland, New Zealand. Kay, who is currently on a working holiday, said that she gets NZD22.70 (approximately RM63) per hour. She works 9 hours a day, so if you do the math, that's NZD204.30 (approximately RM568) for a 1-day salary! Kay works 5 days a week, and with 45 working hours a week, she got around NZD1,021.50 a week (approximately RM2,841).
Speaking to WORLD OF BUZZ, Kay said that she has been working as a tomato picker at the farm in NZ since February this year with 6 months' visa. "Your working holiday visa will be extended for 3 months if you work in the horticulture or viticulture industry," Kay told WORLD OF BUZZ.
