this does not say what the data in other countries is measuring–
their minimum wage?
their average wage?
their average wage for hourly employees?

I could come up with a longer list of possibilities.

Moreover, is it converted at the current exchange rate or some form
of purchasing power parity.

This is a poor chart because such comparisons can be easily manipulated. So it is important to know exactly what is being compared.
