[QUOTE="cosine, post: 1400244, member: 10363"] And that's for full-time employees. The Italian grandmother who works in the ice cream shop 15 hours a week isn't included. The US has so much opportunity; I started my professional life working for $15/hour and commuting an hour each way because it was a good work environment/experience but the office was in a lousy town. Even once I bumped up to $40k salaried, I felt trapped by making so little. I felt like if I lost my job I would be screwed. But that's around the cutoff for purple/rich countries on that map, and I don't have a family to support. At least the Europeans have perfected tiny/efficient living spaces. [/QUOTE]
