I don't think computer programmers is the right search term, you want the entry for software developers:

https://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/...

103 560 USD/y

about 25% higher than swedish pre-tax and taxes are a lot lower in most of the US

US gdp per capita ppp is 54k vs. 37k for EU, so 45% higher, its unsurprising salaries are higher

Oh, well my calculations are off by 25% then and my point kinda invalid.

Never heard about a distincion between a developer and programmer. Seems to be a distinct BLS category.
