What is the average call center agent's salary in Asia Pacific?

Though there are varying levels of expertise to consider, call center agents generally make roughly $2.50/hr USD, but could make up to around $3.75 USD. That works out to about $7,200 USD a year, compared to US agents earning $8-14 per hour and $33,000 to $51,000 each year.
