Yes, that's a very basic monthly salary tbh. what type of job are you doing, what educational background do you have and how many years of experience? I would say salary discrimination tends to be more common for factory workers, but for office workers it's quite the opposite.

If you work 8 hours a day and 250 days a year or more, that can be considered as one of the lowest wages you can get. But it may not be illegal, depending on the calculation. Have you talked to a specialist, such as through a union or city hall? I don't know if many factories discriminate foreign workers, but a lot of workers, both domestic and foreign, would be easier to fool if they don't try to obtain proper information. The following Ministry's website is just for reference. I wish you good luck. http://www2.mhlw.go.jp/topics/seido/kijunkyoku/minimum/minimum-13.htm

From one of OP's other question, he or she is on "Skilled Labor" status, so that excludes factory work, and also makes it illegal to pay less than a Japanese national for "comparable" work.
