"Relatively few" for Germany means e.g. - if you're looking for a job here, as an US citizen you get 3 months visa without questions asked - there is no minimum amount of money needed in Germany for US citizens, neither as a deposit nor as pay

  I believe that in all countries in Europe, there's a requirement that the pay be at market level to avoid the exploitation of immigrants (there's no distinction based on country of origin as you seem to imply), and that the job be advertised first with the EU's job agency (whatever that is called, I forgot now) and EU citizens are able to apply before an immigrant may be allowed to apply and take the job.

    " the pay be at market level " I believe that is called minimum wage? So that would be already a given. there's no distinction based on country of origin as you seem to imply there is a distinction: There is a German by-law as well as a EU-decree that classifies US Americans as citizens of a "priviliged country" (§ 26 BeschV (Verordnung über die Beschäftigung von Ausländern)). https://www.bdae.com/journalbeitraege/dezember-2016-leben-und-arbeiten-im-ausland/462-arbeitserlaubnis-fuer-expats-aus-den-usa-das-muessen-unternehmen-beachten https://www.bdae.com/journalbeitraege/dezember-2016-leben-un...

You then also need to make more, as you continue to be taxed in the USA, until you've lived abroad long enough to qualify for citizenship in your new host country, and can give up your USA citizenship.
