[intended]

Using pay as a single data point - especially an OECD based average - for comparison is enormously bad practice/praxis.

The OECD includes Germany, France, Denmark as well as Mexico and Colombia - the US is most definitely unlike those countries.

On the one end, countries like Mexico and Colombia will have significantly lower salaries because cost of living differences.

Germany, France and the others will bring up the average, but the cost of living in those countries is impacted by the existence of a safety net and the structure of their school systems.
