Excerpted from the Netherlands Career Guide
The typical gross monthly salary in the Netherlands is 2,269 Euro (US$2,204)
including overtime, according to the Central Bureau for Statistics. In
the trade sector, the average monthly salary is 2.035 Euro (US$1,977),
while in healthcare and social work, it's 2,212 Euro (US$2,149). Those
in financial institutions make considerably more, with an average monthly
gross pay of 2,542 Euro (US$2,469). And those in education do even better,
at 2,614 Euro (US$2,539).
One week’s supply of groceries (for one person) costs approximately
45 Euro (US$44). Environmental awareness has penetrated into Dutch supermarkets.
A small deposit will be required on plastic bottles; each supermarket
has a machine that will swallow up a bottle in exchange for a ticket.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Netherlands guide.
