Per your comment before you edited it, you can find the Big Mac Index here among other places.Īre you trying to tell me that you believe the average wage of a McD’s worker to be $24/hr plus benefits? A quick search on indeed should show you how far off you actually are. I lived in Copenhagen with the one that got away and don’t remember the size at McD’s being that different but I could be wrong. Compare that to a US Big Mac at 540 calories, 47g of carbs and 25g of protein… you’re well shy of the 20% size difference you claim so please send me a source for that. Wikipedia will show you that a Big Mac in Denmark is 510 calories, 41g of carbs and 27g of protein. I’m well aware that your previous biases led you to this assumption, hence my reply. However McD employees in franchises (not corporate) are currently at an average of $45183/year (that is a bit over $24/h if using the 1880 standard hours) so wages are rising quickly as well to match, so the meme is still incorrect, nobody at McD is currently working at federal minimum wage, every billboard you see even in podunk towns are offering $20-25/h + benefits. The inflation in the US is hitting really hard as you can see, between me and you checking, the Big Mac rose significantly.

Note also that at the wages presented, Denmark, Norway etc are levying a 20-25% tax rates on income so real income is a lot lower whereas at the lowest income brackets, US tax policy is progressive (negative tax rates, free healthcare etc) Norway is still really expensive in regards their Big Mac pricing. Denmark in the last few years has taken a hard right from their previous socialist policies. Note that Big Macs are approximately 20% smaller in Denmark as well (looking at caloric values). Just a few years ago, when this meme was prevalent, it was hovering about 3.80 while Denmark/Norway were at $6-8. Just checked on Nasdaq feed and Denmark is at 5.50 (that excludes the 25% VAT) while for the US it is a shocking 5.80 (inflation in the last few weeks/months, you can find articles on it saying it has gone up 40%).
