I suspect that debt plays into it. Americans, particularly ones fresh out of college, tend to have a crap-load of debt. Then they "demand" higher pay because they literally can't have the same standard of living without it.
Although I could be wrong. I certainly don't know much about how Europeans view debt.
- sigkill 14y agoMaybe you're right. I've heard that education in Europe is pretty cheap. This could be one of the major factors for having "good enough" salaries. Also, in the US, you need insurance for everything, unlike Europe with public healthcare (I'm not sure how many countries have free health though). So, that could be one of the hidden costs as well.
