600 a week is 2400 a month, which way over any entry level salary in Europe.

$2,400/month is the legal minimum wage in some cities. ($15/hour)

I believe EU salaries are usually discussed after-tax, so 2400 / month take-home pay. That is probably the main confusion here.
Seems like an odd way of going about it. If you and I work for the same company in the same exact job role but you're married to an unworking spouse with 2 children and I am single, I will be taxed higher than you so my take home salary would be less despite being paid identical amounts. You're destroying information by relaying it like this and it's misleading. Your personal tax situation is irrelevant to comparing salaries across jobs.
No, thats not what im talking about here.
I believe it is $600 per week in addition to the normal state unemployment amount. The actual amount received is more than $600.
