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?

Ok so say someone is paid $22/h w a 37% tax rate then essentially they are only getting about $14/h after tax… so 3 bucks more than my estimate…

I'd say a 27% difference in pay is quite a lot.

This is misleading. The danish tax includes health insurance (and other stuff). You have to compare the 14$ with what the US McD worker has, after he has paid to a comparable health insurance.

Sure, and they get free healthcare, 6 weeks of vacation, welfare, state pension, free education end even getting paid to get a higher education, just off the top of my head.
