Every job should pay the same?

No. These are their rights as a workers, as any other European worker. And companies must do it if they want to be here. It isn't a great company. It's a normal company following citizens' laws.

Except Denmark's income tax rate is not 55% for someone working at McDonalds. Denmark has a progressive taxation which means that only the absolute richest people pay a high tax, the rest have a lower taxation rate. Googling Denmark is hard for people too lazy to do research

Wrong! 21 $ an hour will giv you 14$ to take home We don't Pay 55% in taxes 😂 The first 744$ a month are free, No taxes! I earn 2694$ a month 2694-744$ =1950 Of the 1950$ i have to Pay 8% labor market contributions 8% of 1950$ = 156$ 1950-156 =1794% Now i to Pay 37% tax 37% of 1794$ = 664$ To take home i Will have 1794-664 = 1130$ 1130$ + the 744$ that are tax free That Will give me 1874$ to take from! 2694$ brutto income = 1874$ netto income! Danish income tax is not straight forward. If you earn 74463$ a year you have to Pay 37% tax If you earn 89335$ a year. The max tax is 40% That does not mean that you Pay 40% of the 104,248$ You Will Pay 37% of the 74463% and then 40% of the of the 29785$ you earn extra efter the 74463$ If you earn 134,033$ a year You Will Pay 37% of the 74463$ Then 40% of the 29785$ And then 43% of the 29785$ you earn extra from the 104,248$ And so on and so on 54.4% is the max you Will Pay on part of your income

the high tax [which is much lower for most people due to deductions] rate is for the exceptional social spending, welfare state, the public sector etc. the Danes are top 2 in the 'world happiness report'

People like the perceived benefit, but not the reality.

Not desperate enough to pay them to live decently but to cry about labor shortage and "Nobody wants to work anymore!". Try and send these do called companies saying they can't find labor and send them your CV you'll find yourself surprised with little to no calls at all. If they do call and they said pay was starting 18$ an hour ask them on the post to confirm, most of the time they actually are.

Lol. The rise in wage goes across the board in the lower half, and evens out at the top. Here in Norway for example the unions bargain together to lift up blue collar industries. This benefits the economy here greatly, as you suddenly have an entire portion of society that has money to inject back into the economy which makes it easier for both small and larger businesses to proliferate. My husband makes $30 an hour as a grocery store clerk while he gets his MBA. He’s able to raise a family on that. Because we feel like valued members of society and see just exactly where our tax goes, we are happy to pay the 30-35% income tax now, and when his income increases likely 40%. Happily. Gladly. With pride, knowing the tax system here raises up everyone together, and increases everyone’s standard of living. What’s the point in being filthy rich if you walk and drive through crumbling streets and have to constantly look over your shoulder afraid of what desperation does to your countrymen.

According to Business Insider in 2014, when Denmark McDonald's were apparently paying $20/hour, the average price of a Big Mac in the US was $4.80 and in Denmark was $5.15.

That's why they divide us over stupid s**t.

Until covid & more people had time & money to change jobs & careers. Free education was only made law so people at working at factories could do math & read instructions. Now they act like it's a favor to us.
