One is labor cost the other is wage. Two different although related metrics.

Cost of living between Seattle and Stockholm is also probably comparable…

But to be fair, US software engineer salaries are super high compared to everywhere except Switzerland.

However there’s still no way in hell a grocery store anywhere in Europe is going to pay someone $26/h.
