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?

Your salary is 160,33 kroner per hour. 23.02 dollars. That comes out to 44,287.16 dollars per year. Before taxes, of course. You can definitely live on that salary, no problem at all.

It's because of unions.

WRONG. This guy can't read information from the internet. :D

He just looked up "mcd salaries" (in danish of course) on google and found this: "Fuldtidsansatte aflønnes med en månedsløn, hvor timelønnen findes ved at dividere med 160,33."

Then, because he is probably a neocon, or doesn't understand how salaries work (or both) he just wrote 160,33 because it looked cool - although that number has nothing to do with the actual salary.

160,33 is just the standard monthly hours worked at 5 day weeks with 7½ hour workdays. And it is the number you need to divide your monthly income by in order to get hourly wages.

Starting salary is ~132 DKK/h (~19 USD), which is minimum wage for unskilled labour for any unionized workplace. As others have said, we actually have no official minimum wage, but even non-unionized workplaces will in the end pay appr. the same as unionized.
