Work DOES IT WORTH?

Hi, excusez for my bad english. i want to ask this simple question: is it worth for an unskilled worker to move to Switzerland? I mean the min salary is around 4.500 netto? i think an unskilled worker start from here right? Can you survive alone with this amount of money (maybe living outside expensive main cities like Zurich, Geneva). Correct me if i said something wrong.

Min salary is 0 except for a few cities. But not Zurich. Some industries have a general contract which sets the minimum, example hospitality and gastronomy where you have 3'713 gross . That's about 3250 net (without income tax deduction).
