RM2,500 salary should be enough for fresh grads, say experts


KUALA LUMPUR:  A starting salary of RM2,500 for graduates who have just entered the employment world will suffice as long as they manage their finances well and live within their means.

Economist and financial management experts say this average starting salary can be considered reasonable given that the fresh grads have no skills or experience and that the employer has to take the risk of employing them.
