The data was obtained by dividing the average price that a person has to pay to get a beer by the hourly minimum wage (assuming a 40-hour work week). One beer is defined as a 0.5L draught domestic beer at a bar. In Georgia, it takes more than half a day’s worth of work to make enough to pay for a pint. In contrast, in Puerto Rico it takes only 12 minutes.
