Page 82 of the study [1] has two maps: one for absolute upward mobility and one for relative upward mobility. They look mostly the same. I guess you're talking more about comparing the U.S. to Denmark, but as the maps show (and the linked article mentions), taking the U.S. as a whole is absurd anyway.
