Nowadays Ireland has one of the highest median disposable incomes and lowest unemployment rates in the EU. The bigger issue today isn’t “most people on the lowest wage possible”, it’s that housing and cost inflation are impacting living standards. But this is worldwide.
@ProfNathanHale@IateUrstack@BoshBoom@JohnSimpsonNews The US is extraordinarily rich on average, but not in the middle.
Median wealth per adult (roughly):
• US: ~$120k
• Belgium: ~$250k
• Denmark: ~$215k
• Switzerland: ~$180k
• UK: ~$175k
• France: ~$145k
• Norway: ~$140k
@timgilmour@sirguywhosmiles@HistoryBoomer I know exactly how they were treated- I have lots of relatives that fought for the Allies. They were welcomed home, often as heroes, and integrated back in very well. The only ones that faced any (mild) consequences were those who were in the irish army and deserted.
