Why are wages so high in the US v Europe?
Generalizing here, but my role (sales) in the US would pay 3x my European wage, is it just the cost of living?

Because the US worker is the most productive worker in the world.

Because everyone is expected to rip each other off so everyone needs more money so others can scam you for it.



Because Americans are very productive and generally work longer hours, with less time off.

This results in a capital rich economy, which compounds into productivity gains.
Was this post just meant to remind us all how "great" America is?

1. Inflation

2. Unions

3. Certain states mandating a minimum wage upwards of $20 ala California

It entirely depends which part of Europe you live in. Some countries in Europe have higher salaries than the US, some have lower.

Part of it is to do with exchange rate, but part of it is down to the standard of living in the country.

Take-home pay tends to be higher in the USA because more things are paid for in Europe by taxes whereas in the USA you are expected to get insurance.

1. usa lower tax, less regulated, easier do business in
2. both consumers and business owner migrate there
3. feedbackloop because usa now better because (productive) human capital concentrated here

There is no such thing as a "European" wage. They are Romanian, German, Liechtensteinian, Swiss or Bulgarian ones.

Norwegians, Luxemburgers and Swiss certainly earn more than thy typical American retail worker.

Is it free when you're getting paid substantially less, and pay substantially more in taxes? Let's stop perpetuating that myth. Nothing is free. Europeans are paying out of their collective asses for that stuff.
