I was referring to healthcare which constitutes the bulk of benefits in the US. Also PTO is more regulated in the EU than it is in the US.

- cscurmudgeon 3y ago> constitutes the bulk of benefits in the US. What? What do you mean by bulk?
- mahmoudhossam 3y agoAs in healthcare is very expensive over there and that most of it is tied to the employer. I'm not sure what you're asking here.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoIt is expensive but salaries are also higher. Most people pay a few hundred at max per month on several thousand dollars of salary. I am not sure what you mean by saying "constitutes the bulk of benefits in the US" https://www.statista.com/statistics/631987/percent-of-income-spent-on-health-plan-by-us-employees/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/631987/percent-of-income... Do you mean outside of plain salary, medical benefits are the highest? I think that may be more correct. But even that may not be universally true. For folks in software, at least matching retirement benefits will outweigh medical benefits
- mahmoudhossam 3y agoYes, I'm not counting the salary as a benefit. I'm not really familiar with US pension plans so I stand corrected.
- Yujf 3y agoYeah healthcare is for sure better in EU and so less of a benefit, but I still get additional insurance through my company and most white collar jobs do. It's for the extra costs of hospitalisation such as upcharges for a single room and other costs general health care doesn't cover.
