I think another to add to that is that the cost of living is not that much higher. Numbeo puts the numbers for Denmark at 75.17 and the US at 72.9. and others have a similar disparity.
So on an average wage the US citizen can buy more than a Dane, but the McDonalds wage in Denmark is a lot closer to the average wage of Denmark than the US McDonalds wage is to the US average.

Probably more meaningful to use median numbers than averages as a few ultra rich people can skew those numbers considerably, which doesn't say much about normal life.
