Comment: "O.K. It could be the right answer. Although in Latvian the distinction of wage and salary is not applicable. "
Discussion
I am sorry, but I think that is not correct answer in this case, so as there should be distinction between wage earning and salary earning. Salary=wage. But in this case there is a distinction.
So far, I suppose, that on this forum there are no translators, that could help me.
