Norweg

Haha no sight of Canada 😂

Ok sure but there was a report on development of income from 2012 to 2022 or something like that it was posted maybe 2-5 months ago. Some countries have had 300-400% increase, the average somewhat less.
Norway was the only country that had had negative development of income (or purchasing power, I forget).

Anyone remember that graph?

I took away from it that while we used to have bigger salaries, that’s no longer the case.

Is anyone still buying this bs? Prices are like in West Coast, salaries like in Germany

Sounds like bs, I bet it’s much lower when everything is accounted for.

And yet we can’t afford to maintain our schools or take care of our elderly.

There should be a way to adjust these statistics for wealth distribution or income inequality.

Unbelievable when you know that 33000 pensioners are living below EUs poverty line. And people have to sell their jewelry to pay bills. 300 000 postpone dental appointments because of the cost. But hey – at least were giving 1% of our GNP to dictators around the world in so called aid. I’m not even mentioning the cash flow to Ukraine

„GDP per capita adjusted for costs and hours works“ seems like a meaningless parameter. I don’t think this has any value except for the novelty of Norway being at the top.

Don’t believe this stat

I don’t know how this works on average workers. People who work in trades. I am a mechanic.
(I didn’t come here for the money so I am not complaining. Just giving a contrast.)
In Finland I made 3000€/month after taxes.
Now I make 4500€/49000NOK and after taxes it’s 30% less 3400€/month. If I made 4500€/month back home it would have had 20% taxes.

(I came here simply because I always wanted to move abroad and learn a new language and work in the language I simply got work offer from here before Germany which was my first choice due to affordable beer.)
