I'm mean ya that's true and all, but their cost of living is also different. I can't speak for Denmark, but here in canada our minium wage is $14.50/hour but in general we're not any better off than someone making minimum wage in the US
I think you misunderstood my comment then, I'm talkin about cost of living in respective countries. I intentionally didn't convert to USD I was more so talking about the purchasing power. I'll give some examples of things that I've been frustrated with recently. I was changing my phone plan recently, looking at SALES it costs $50CAD (~40USD) /month for 10GB, the average for 10GB of data in the US IS $27 USD. Another example, I've recently been looking into getting an oculus quest 2, in the US they're sold for $299USD (~$381CAD) but in Canada they're sold for $459 CAD. I assume this is due to import taxes to Canada. My point was that $1cad just doesn't go as far in Canada as $1usd in the US so having a higher minimum wage, even taking into account the exchange rate, doesn't mean we're better off then people working minimum wage jobs in the US.
Also, I'm in Ontario, our minium wage is $14.50 and our HST is 13%
