Math challenged? :)
160 hours into $340 is $2.13 an hour!I think you meant 340USD/week, huh? Not that that's exactly a screaming wage, but at least it's the federally mandated minimum wage.
As for higher wages in Scandinavia: the taxes in Denmark come in at around 55%, and if they're being taken out of the wages (which I'm sure they are), suddenly that big salary doesn't look that much better.
On the other hand, there's Denmark's cradle-to-grave health care.
