As a third-world citizen, reading about US worker conditions in Reddit made me realize that working minimum-wage burger-flipping job with no benefits in US affords you a better life than working one of the rarer white-collar high-skill jobs in my country.

It really depends on your third world country.

That’s not really due to the job there though - it’s due to the overall state of the country & infrastructure.

Not really the same thing.

When compared to countries with similar quality of infrastructure & “development” the US fares extremely poorly.

Extremely poorly? How so?

Did you read this article or the OECD report it is based on? Probably some clues in there if you are interested in finding your answer.
