A Dubai F&B business did a recent waitresses recruitment in Philippines and hundreds of people were queuing for a 1100 AED job, including people with masters.
1100 AED = 300USD, working behind the counter in McDonalds in Manila would pay 100USD. ie pay in Dubai is 3x higher while saving ability would be higher still. Eg you may be able to save $70 out of $300, doubt you could do it on $100. Puts things into perspective a bit.
