Not quite sure where these numbers were pulled from but the median Swedish salary for men are at $40482.89/yr and women at $36687.6/yr, the median of that is 38585.24 in total. Not sure that I can trust anything from this article.

The article is just bad propaganda. I say "bad" because it relies on the reader not having spent time outside the USA. You can compare apples and oranges all day. If Sweden suffers from "poverty" than its a type of poverty that looks pretty cozy to me.
