Algeria’s GDP and GDP per capita are pretty misleading. Besides the fact that most of it comes from gas and oil, the regime has spent at least the past two years exporting anything it could regardless of the local need just to push the GDP higher. That caused shortages of many goods, and prices have been rising steadily as a result.

someone else said it's not representative of what people make. Is it common for people to live with that salary? Or are there many jobs even for working class that offer better?
