Amrita Singh, an Indian woman living in the United States, revealed that she spent nearly $250 — approximately Rs 21,000 to Rs 23,000 — to repair a small water leak in her house. Sharing her experience on social media, she explained how expensive labour charges in the US can be, even for basic household tasks.
“We paid $250 today to repair a small leak. In the US, if you have even a small repair job at home, you’re easily looking at $100 or $200. Labour costs are so expensive here that for every little task,” she said in her video.
