Which was my point.  The system in Denmark works well for employers, employees, and companies WITHOUT a mandated minimum wage.
In Hawaii or America in general, every time the minimum wage is increased people howl, kick & scream that it's impossible to pay THAT much. Businesses will collapse!
The economy will be doomed!
It's the end of the world as we know it!

And it never is.

Oh, for God's sake, please don't tell them about Denmark's mandatory minimum 5 weeks of paid vacation per year, up to 52 weeks of paid maternity and paternity leave - split between Mother and Father per child, mandatory pension funding, maximum of 48 working hours per week and last but not least, free universal health care. (That damn Obama!)

Ironically, the average McDonald's worker in Denmark is paid what would equal $22.00 AMERICAN dollars per hour.

Guess what?

In Denmark, a Big Mac Meal costs .......... $13.00 AMERICAN dollars!
