Entgegen der Lebenserfahrung der Einwohner Luxemburgs ist die Miete einer Wohnung im Großherzogtum bei Berücksichtigung des Durchschnittslohns tatsächlich günstiger als in vielen anderen Städten Europas, so eine neue Analyse von The Economist.

This report is a good lesson on how to use statistics to suit your argument instead of letting the statistics inform your argument.
What would the report look like if we used median wages instead of average? The median wages are 30% lower than the average, with the median sitting at only €58k. The gap between high and low earners is massive in Lux, one in ten workers earn less than €34k a year and one in ten earning more than €135k a year. So using averages to make an argument about affordability is not honest and to say that the „lived experience“ of people on this matter is wrong using faulty methods is gross.
