Average Cuban monthly salary rises to $19 [but brain surgeons make a whopping $22 a month]

HAVANA -

The average monthly salary in Cuba rose 17 percent between 2006 and 2011 to the equivalent of $19, the state statistics office said Monday.

That meant the average monthly wage of workers in Cuba, where the Communist-ruled state controls more than 90 percent of the economy, climbed from the equivalent of $16 a month in 2006 to $19 last year, the office said on its website.

Low salaries are a key complaint in the Americas' only one-party Communist regime.

There is a very small salary range from unskilled to highly skilled labor, so a street sweeper might make $17 and a brain surgeon $22 a month.

“Paging Michael Moore...Michael, where are you?”

Considering the weather, he's more likely to be at his Park Avenue address in New York than at his 10,000 square foot house on Torch Lake, in Michigan:

This is from two years ago, but it’s the most recent that I could find. Perhaps brain surgeons are now up to $25 a month?

Is that before taxes...?

Just wondering.
