Do McDonald's workers in Denmark make the equivalent of $22 U.S. per hour? Can they live well on that? (leddit.danmark.party)

There's a meme being debated right now that says McDonald's workers in Denmark make $22 U.S. per hour plus they have 6 weeks of vacation.

Is this accurate? U.S. McDonald's workers make much less than this.

Can you work at a fast food place like McDonald's and have a decent standard of living?

Yes, they make that. No, you can't live "well" on that, we have high taxes and very high cost of living.

Yes, 6 weeks is true. And free Healthcare etc.

It's usually a side gig for students.

To an American, living well looks very different than what a Dane expects.

Danes generally do not have working poor class. We don’t have homelessness plaguing entire cities, nor trailer parks for working poor, or even a group of people in employment but still relying on food stamps etc.

Generally any full time employment in Denmark will provide you with enough income for housing, food, transportation and money for leisure.

So any full time employed Dane, in general, is living well.

Danes don't know what food stamps is - or at least I don't know.

If you are seriously asking the question of what it is, then food stamps, or SNAP, are like a food allowance from the government for people who don't have a lot of money. It helps them buy groceries so they can have enough to eat. It's kind of like a debit card for buying food at certain stores.

We dont have food-stamps - but if you are in need of help with rent you can get “boligstøtte”(housing benefits (Edit: not if you own the House, only if renting); if you have kids in daycare you can also get “friplads tilskud” (economic subsidy) eller “søskende tilskud” if you have more than one child i daycare. (Most schools and daycare facilities are public/municipal - and not private).

When 18 and studying, you can apply for SU, (educational State Grant) but most students also work parttime.

“søskende tilskud”

That's automatic, and not something you have to apply for.
