A few years ago I started a manufacturing business in a low cost of living part of the UK. Most of our staff make about £2000 per month after tax, which actually works out to just over $36,000 per before tax. This is a good wage for the area. All of our sales are to other manufacturing businesses, most of which are in the UK/EU. Most of our suppliers are UK/EU manufacturing businesses too, many of which are local to us.
