While I agree with your sentiments, I must correct you in that Sweden doesn't have a minimum wage, never had! Our societal safety also isn't all that it was, but to be sure it's much stronger than the US. For the other nordic countries I can't tell, though I seem to remember that Denmark has a minimum wage and Norway doesn't. As for Finland I have no idea.

Finland has none either. It is all done by employee unions negotiating with employer unions.
The safety net from social security does ensure that it is pretty hard to starve and not have at least some accommodation.

Public K-12 education is free in the United States. Any thoughts on why the outcomes aren't "staggeringly good?"
I would ask you - do you have evidence to show that lowering wages benefits anyone other than the employer?
Look at the Nordic countries. Paying everyone a minimum wage and creating a societal safety where education is free and everyone has access to the tools to better themselves results in staggeringly good outcomes.
