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.

    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.

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

    Edit:

    Figures are converted and expressed in 2021 U.S. dollars per hour using purchasing-power parity (PPP) to level out cost-of-living differences.

    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!

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