Wages at South America low β a sign? (8)
I believe the answer is:
salaries
'wages' is the definition.
('salary' can be a synonym of 'wage')
'at south america low a sign?' is the wordplay.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'south america low' becomes 'sal' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'a sign?' becomes 'aries' (star sign).
'sal' put next to 'aries' is 'SALARIES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for salaries that I've seen before include "remuneration" , "Wages" , "Payments from employers" .)
