I wonder how much a basic burget at Burger King in Denmark costs? No cheese, single patty. It's less than a $1 here. I don't think I would go to Burger King if it wasn't cheap.

COPENHAGEN — On a recent afternoon, Hampus Elofsson ended his 40-hour workweek at a Burger King and prepared for a movie and beer with friends. He had paid his rent and all his bills, stashed away some savings, yet still had money for nights out.
That is because he earns the equivalent of $20 an hour — the base wage for fast-food workers throughout Denmark and two and a half times what many fast-food workers earn in the United States.
“You can make a decent living here working in fast food,” said Mr. Elofsson, 24. “You don’t have to struggle to get by.”

I swear... This is turning some kind of news reporting page. Pretty much all threads I've seen created by you have been some news.

Yeah but I get they have real social services to show for those taxes and going to the doctor doesn't cause bankrupcy. Originally Posted by Baracuda

Yea, that's... Not a danish name. Originally Posted by gegalfo

Denmark isn't actually on that list <.<? Originally Posted by Kujako

The tax percentage is high aswell as the cost of living so the wage needs to be high aswell. Originally Posted by Hubcap

I guess it's a response to those who scream "GET A PHD!!!" whenever workers here protest demanding a living wage. Originally Posted by peggleftw

Some things seem popular and get a lot of posts, other things not so much, they just fall off the front page in a minute or two. Originally Posted by Child of Curiosity
