SEK in used in Sweden not Finland, and either way, the US might be richer, but that's just one country, while there's hundreds more countries that are poorer than those where people don't have the opportunities for WLB as in Sweden or Finland hence my survivorship bias comment.
Always cherry-picking the Nordics to win any socio-economic argument seems like HN's favorite placard card. Pretty sure there are also unionized workers in the US working for state projects who also barely clock in any hours while making good money. See how cherry picking works?
People in Mexico work far more hours than the Nordics and the US. Same in Eastern Europe. And Asia. Why is that? Why don't they just work 20h-30h/week for $5k wages?
- flir 3y agoGood point on SEK. I just saw "telecoms" and my brain shut down.
