Wages in weaker leagues

I've always wondered how much money earns average footballer in weaker leagues (e.g. Macedonian, Slovenian, Bosnian etc.)? If anyone has some statistics or knowledge on this subject, please share it.

Of course, I mean the highest leagues in these countries.

Hard to find exact stats for wages. Clubs never reveal their wage bill. Most of the time it's just estimation.

Found these two articles

From what I know most Steaua players have around 10k-12k/month.

In Kosovo, an average footballer earns around 150-200 euros/month

Is there league in Kosovo?  Btw. Is a chance to create a representation of Kosovo (in the near future)?

Romanian league is not bad, and I mean about weaker leagues (not amateur, but weaker). In Poland best players earns 200-300k euro per year (average player earns 6-7k p/m), but polish league isn't the worst too.

Well in Australia we have a salary cap of like 2.6million or something, for the whole squad plus 2 or so marquee players.

A-League is a "weaker league"?  

My mate played in ND Gorica (Slovenian top league) and he earned +/-1300 euros per month. But it depends on skills of player.

In Kosovo there are only amateur leagues (I could be wrong?), so...

Same here

and we have 'professional league' and NT

In Finland's first division it's between 1000-4000 euros a month for senior players.

Nah it depends, 3 years ago in the Macedonian 2nd Division the highest wage that my local side gave was 1000 Euros a month, they gave that kind of wage only to 2 players, others received wages from 100 euros to 500 euros a month.

I believe that in Macedonia the highest wage is around 2000 Euros a month.

 E.g. in Macedonia would be possible to live for 1000 euro per month? Do players have to moonlight money? I always thought best footballers in such leagues as Macedonian, Albanian can be live with only salary from football.

Best salaries in T-ME (Polish, 22 place in UEFA ranking):

+Ljuboja 500k per year (currently RC Lens, before Legia), Smolarek 400k p/y (c. without club, before Polonia Warsaw)

If you have similar stats - paste them.

Not sure I would qualify it as a weaker league, considering I believe to be the American equivalent of the Championship, but here is all the wage information for the MLS:

I don't think so maybe 1-2 players out of lets say 2000 make that much money if they are lucky enough... here in Pelister lol they don't even get 100 eu

Pelister were in a bad financial situation, and which ever team has a 'sugar daddy' his team will have 1-2 players that receive up to 1000 euros.
Devi I'm sure Vardar (ekipata na vladata ) has players that get that kind of money.
