Yeah, no. Swedish salaries are low compared to the US and other European countries. Well — people with “low income” jobs are sometimes better off in Sweden - at least relative to the rest of the Swedish population.

Although incorrect (because of tax burdens, etc.) the group Invest in Sweden Agency, has actually tried promoting investment in Sweden by characterizing it as a low wage country. Although wages are relatively low, the cost of employing is not. That tends to make improving overall employment following economic downturn quite difficult in Sweden (certainly compared to the US).
