In Denmark, the average worker in McDonald's makes $22 an hour, receives 6 weeks of paid vacation, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and a pension. Yes. If McDonald's workers in Denmark can have a decent standard of living, we can do it in the U.S.

Do they though?

They are priced out just as far away as McDonalds workers here

Starting at a difference price might still leave you on the same floor

OK, now let's take a look at the size of housing, auto ownership, and taxes!

I bet they actually pay taxes. I want to know what their take home salary is after taxes and then adjusted for increased cost of living.

The bottom 50% of this country doesn’t even contribute anything to the system.

Its even more interesting that Denmark McDonald’s pays more hourly to their employees than Bernie paid hourly to his furloughed staff due to rising campaign costs.
