  For reference, when this graph was made, minimum wage was 12,82€ in Germany.

  It now is 13,90€ since start of the year.

  It will be 14,60€ in 2027.

    It’s also higher now, than what’s on this chart, in several states

      Ignore my deleted comment, I was misinterpreting what you said.

  So even in all of the best countries it’s still a huge struggle to live on minimal wage, yet there are additional huge & horrible differences to the worst ones.

    Usually the EU countries have free healthcare, free schools, and social nets.

    cost of living in most of these countries is massively lower than in US, even without counting cheap or free healthcare and schools

      It’s adjusted for cost of living, I assume that’s like a purchase parity thing.

      This chart attempts to take that into account using OCED’s purchase power parity metric

      oecd.org/…/purchasing-power-parities-ppp.html

      I don’t know if the basket of goods takes into account healthcare and schooling and I expect it ignores taxes, but it sounds like the chart should be reasonably accurate.

  Minimum wage in Massachusetts is now 15.00, but honestly it should be like twice that

    Wisconsin sitting at the federal minimum, meanwhile the cheapest shitty apartment you can find within range of a job will eat almost your entire month take-home pay if you make min wage. Super fun living in economically repressed places!

  I guess the page unloads itself after the Google tracker is blocked.

    Yep, we broke our website because you use an adblocker! Well I’m on mobile and using Fennec so I’m just gonna switch to read mode and bypass your breakage and read it anyways.

      Oh my god thank you for reminding me read mode exists and that I can finally access these shitty websites that reload because of ad blockers. I am unstoppable now.

  Kinda surprised that New Hampshire is at the bottom. Not surprised that my state is just above it.

  Adjusting the US minimum wages according to cost of living in the relevant state, and then comparing them to unadjusted minimum wages from other countries makes for a tad disengenous of a comparison…
