sure in percents. But US per capita makes more money, so the actual dollars to dollars are similar. EU GDP per capita is 46,888 US 68,309 68000/100*27 = 183

EU GDP per capita is 46,888 US 68,309
68000/100*27 = 18360
47000/100*40 = 18800
Edit i took GDP from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP%29_per_capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PP... 2021 estimates
I was kind of surprised by this, when I ran the numbers.
- refurb 5y agoYou're using averages across all of the EU which includes both countries with a higher GDP per capita than the US and countries with lower GDP per capita. Some of the examples I gave actually have a higher GDP per capita than the US.
- unionpivo 5y agoYes but most of such countries are small in population. The biggest countries (by population): Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland All have lover GDP. The countries with higher GDP than US (according to wikipedia): Luxembourg (pop: 638,153 ), Ireland (pop: 5,006,061), Norway (not in EU, pop: 5,457,423), Switzerland (not EU, pop: 8,717,698) I am sure if you just take the richest few states, they are also richer than average US
