The information contained herein is based on 4 days of market data gathering, please use common sense when applying this information. I try very hard to make this as accurate as possible, but anyone who knows markets will tell you that time is key in showing trends.
This first graph is the wages from around the world for the last 4 days, most are staying pretty steady, except Serbia, who's citizen wages are declining. The E1 and E8 designate the appropriate Economy skill of the job seeker. In both graphics,the left hand side indicates days wages in local currency while the right hand side shows the gold conversion based on that days rates for that country.

The numbers and graphs below are more raw material data I'm using to create a buying power index, therefore, use at your own risk.
These charts are based on a hypothetical Economy level 8 worker, making the maximum job offer of the day. The charts show how many finished goods (in food and weapons of different Q ratings) could be purchased with their wages in a tax free situation. Charts will be provided in the future for other countries as well.

Weapon Buying Power Index: Days 190-193
These numbers will become a bit easier as time progresses.
A proposed tax bill is to be implemented by congress imminently.
Our country's new taxes will have 0% on Raw Materials. A Godsend for those trying to set up manufacturing companies in the US. We as a country have no natural Raw Materials except wood and to stimulate our economy, we must have better access to them.
Import Taxes on Manufactured Goods will be at 3%. I am one of those who believe our import tax should be even higher, to protect US companies from undercutting. However, it cannot be said we are not working in the right direction.
Income taxes are to be 8%, which are still cheap! No complaints here about that. A 3% increase (which is 60% more than before, btw) should help to offset the other tax changes.
Finally the lowering of the VAT from 5% to 1%... This should directly lower prices in the US without changing profit margins.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
