As I understand with the current economic status in Sweden, the economy, if compared to the economy of every state in the United States, would still be more comperable with a 3rd world Latin American economy rather than one of the states it could be compared to.

My buddy just brough over a Swedish Au Pair to live here over the summer. She's working about as cheap as a good Latina Nanny, and we're in South Florida. I would have simply recommended the Latina nanny personally, but his wife gets really jealous and didn't want hubby to run off with the nanny.

I don't know where you get your information, but Sweden isn't a third world country by any measure. Their politics have been screwed up, but their standard of living is still very comperable to most first world nations. Go there, if you don't believe me.

BTW, we were in Vegas some time ago and it was interesting that there were as many central and east EUROPEANS working the waitress cleaning jobs as there were Hispanics!

I'm sure these would make his wife jealous

So she gets a Swede?

That just doesn't seem right......

I'm curious why the wife is worried about her husband running off with a Latina, but not a Swedish, nanny.
