💵 Episode 4: Salaries in the U.S. Are on Another Level

Thinking about hiring in the United States? Be ready for numbers that might surprise you.

In this episode of Doing Business in the U.S. Through Dutch Eyes, Dutch videographer Jeroen Boersma explores the reality of U.S. wages. The average salary in California is around $70,000. The minimum wage is $16.50 per hour. In fast food? It’s often $20. In tech? Even entry-level roles at companies like Google, Meta, or Apple can start at $150,000.

For Dutch founders, this is a wake-up call. Doing business in the U.S. means understanding local costs, expectations, and what talent actually costs to attract and retain.
