America's working poor is interesting topics because working condition seems to be alike in both US and Japan.
According to The Huffington Post, minimum wage in US is around $8/hour, and this is very close to that of Japan.

In addition to them, in Philippine, most areas have around $7/day besides Manila.

President Obama is trying to raise the wages up to $10/hour in two years because the hourly poverty level is now $9/hour.
Now we know that the wages in working class is almost the same in both US and Japan, and that those in US and Japan are 8 times higher than that of Philippine.
Other question is; " is the productivity 8 times higher?" , or "are daily life cost and living cost 8 times higher?"
I need further investigation and I will report it when I have done.
