The chart compares the average price of a 500 ml beer with the average hourly wage in each country. The USA is in the pole position in that a $1.80 beer can be earned in five minutes. China has the world's cheapest beer, but wages are also quite low, so a 55 cent beer requires 9 minutes of labor. In stark contrast, a worker in India would have to toil for 54 minutes to earn a $1.40 beer.
