As a male nurse in Sweden, having studied and worked here, I always had a dreamy notion of working as a nurse in America, particularly in Texas, which I heard is warm, beautiful, and has no state taxes. The only barrier for me was the fear of taking the NCLEX exam. However, since getting to know you, I've come to appreciate my work conditions in Sweden. I only have a year of experience, live in Stockholm, earn slightly below the average you mentioned, and spend a bit more. Perhaps these factors led me to consider elsewhere, but I feel your insights and thorough analysis have given me a clearer picture

Also, if you are on vacation and get sick, you get your vacationdays back :) (the amount of days you are sick you get vacationdays back)

As a swede I would not want the US system. But one thing to add is the sales tax is quite high, so you have less purchase power with your money in Sweden, and prices are generally quite high even before tax (but that varies some stuff is cheaper).

Very nice as usual 👍🏽✌🏽

Cost of vegetables and fruit etc, you can ask chatgpt about it for a brief summary.

Don't forget that if you get sick during your vacation, you report sick and register sick leave instead of vacation! This will ensure that your vacation days aren't wasted. I have 10 days of saved vacation from a couple of years back because of the fact that I got sick with influensa during my vacation. (In our collective bargaining agreement we can save save up to 50 paid vacation days if we don't have overtime, which I've agreed to waive in favor of more vacation days and higher salary)

As usual, if you are young, healthy and eager to make money, go for America, otherwise you're better off in Europe. In a globalised world, I'd say people should do a little bit of both, provided that they are able and want to.

One thing to remember when u compare salaries is that in sweden u dont see the total of your salary since your employer also pay something like 38% top i "arbetsgivaravgift" , "tjänstepension" and other social benefits.

Thank you for the insightful video but i Will like to say these statistics are not actual like the salary stuff you mentioned and cost of living. Because the cost of living here in Sweden is getting higher and higher that even the minimum wage earners are really suffering. This alone is causing many to move to other countries. Just my Honest opinion though. Thanks again for your indepth analysis ❤❤

Tank you for explaining, the pros and cons and Malmö is still a big city for sweden! But its small compared to Copenhagen, so there is danes moving to Malmö, still working in Copenhagen!? Becuse they say, everything is cheaper in Malmö??? Its difficult to explain swedish tax system.. especial for US citicens, there is a pletora of reductions and deductions, and swedes are experts to navigate about that! In anyway.. the rumor say.. taxes in sweden is about 50% or more, its both truth and false! Becuse the median salary tax is 27%, it goes between 20-32%, becuse of deductions and reductions! And then ones employeer pays another 33% on top of your salary in taxes to the goverment, its cald "arbetsgivaravgifter", employeer fees, its take care of goverment things, like pension funds, schools/univeritys, police, military, national roads and rails, and all the other things our goverment have to take care of! Its this, compare salarys, your salary is actually 33% higher! Another thing, for those dont know, your salary tax splits in two pices, 2/3 goes to ones "kommun" (comunity) the other 1/3 goes to ones region, that mostly provide your healtcare.. "its your healt care insurance/contribution to explain it for US citicens", but they provide even more, on a regional level! Its complicated.. but it seems that at least some want to live in our country.. I wonder why????

Indian nurse shited to Stockholm 18 months ago. Just the författningskurs is left to be cleared. The salary you have shown seems to be a bit on the higher side. I've seen nurses in Karolinska work for 30-34k sek... Which i think is quite low. You sure nurses actually get this kinda salary?
