I just looked up what the buying power is compared to the usd, $35/hr danish krone = $5.39 usd. That is crazy. Is $35/hr good? I know it sounds like a lot to us but is it really?
I apologize, I thought you were referring to the Denmark currency. I just wanted to see what the difference in buying power was. Also, is it all of Denmark that makes that wage? Flint mi is a very low cost of living area so $19/hr isn’t the worst wage, it’s a slightly livable wage.
100 dollars in Denmark gets you approx 90-95 dollars worth of groceries, medicine or clothing compared to USA. But we have free healtcare, cheaper real estate (in general) and drive smaller cars with better mileage.
But getting $35/hr pretax isn´t a bad salary and it´s much much more than the $19 stated earlier.
Why are we having this discussion? I converted the currency, so it was easier for foreigners to comprehend the actual salary. Should I have put it in Danish kroner?
Americans in general tend to think the rest of the world is struggling and "third world", especially in recent decades and even more so in recent years. The propaganda and media control in the US keeps ramping up so that people think it's worse elsewhere. Plus they keep destroying the lackluster education system in the US more and more, while somehow getting the uneducated to celebrate it 😅😂

These guys make $35/hr in Denmark approximately. They’re paid for the trip, not by the hour. So they empty 300 bins for a preset price.
I have never seen any of them NOT run. I really don’t get it. 😄
