Although some South Africans face financial issues due to the hike in product prices, there is still an opportunity for others to thrive in the rollercoaster economy.
As per the publication BusinessTech, several jobs in South Africa offer a minimum monthly salary of R30,000 per month or more, according to the latest Pnet Job Market Trends Report (a portal providing insights into the quarterly trends shaping the recruitment market).
“Earning a salary is the number one reason why people look for a job, take up a job or find a new job. However, talking about salaries is still a taboo topic, and most people simply speculate about what others earn,” says Pnet.
