I dont know from where these figures have come from, working in a respectable company at a respected company my salary jumped from Rs 25000 to 40000 during Mush’s time but in reality my salary had reduced from around USD 500 to less than USD 400. The middle class were hit really bad during that time, and the trend has continued.

As far as salary goes … official minimum salary increased from around Rs 1200 (~ $20 @ open market rate) in 1999 to Rs 5000 (near there) or ~ $90 (open market rate) in 2008.

Waisay: Even though I believe you were unfortunate as your salary did not jump as much as others … for instance SC Judges salary increased from ~ Rs35,000 in 1999 to ~Rs140,000 in 2008 … still … Rs 40000 during Musharraf last days was not $400 but it was ~ $650.
