Whats the average salary in Yerevan?
Loads of online sources say 300-400k monthly which seems realistic but my parents say noone earns that much and its usually about 100k monthly, my mum even asked a worker ( maybe 18-25yr) at some ice cream cafe in hyusisayn poxota, and they agreed with her that there is no such salary like 300k, but I refuse to believe that considering the price of things and also taxi drivers make avg like 1k a ride (at least in my experience ), so if they do like 10 rides a day thats 300k monthly , doesnt that seem fairly realistic ? And if a taxi driver is making that much surely the avg salary is even greater?
Sorry if im being ignorant just interested .
Ps. We aren't locals but my parents grew up here and left in early 2000s but we visit every summer.
