We are number 1 again?! While there is no official legal lower limit in Norway, the average starting salary is $23/hour [along with full pension and full health care!]. America has become a third world nation and since the early 1960s the purchasing power of the average salary had DECREASED. Once a single family member could support a family and pay the mortgage on a home. Now the two parents, the children and the pets must all work more than 40 hours per week in many cases and are still left without health care or money to save or spend on leisure.
