Apparently, it's pretty rare for skilled workers to even earn 100% of minimum wage. The median income for Venezuela is approximately 60% below minimum wage. In black market exchange rates, that equates to approximately $2 USD per month.

The maximum surveyed income, according to SalaryExplorer, is 72,000 bolivars per month, which amounts to approximately 10x minimum wage, or around $100 a month.

Given the median though, one assumes that is an extreme outlier.
