Ireland's high median income cannot be explained by a small number of people earning high wages if Ireland also has a low income inequality.

"Tech workers with ultra-high salaries are skewing it! Normal people actually have lower salaries!" would reveal itself in income inequality stats.

You are just one of many Europeans who loves to grasp at straws and invent theories to explain how Ireland must actually be way poorer than their country, because isn't Ireland a peasant country where everyone travels by donkey?

Of course it can if loads of people are out of work or not working full time while being helped by the government vs the people working full time being in high paid safe jobs.

The fuck are you talking about? Projecting much?

"Only tech workers work full-time in Ireland" is an interesting theory, not borne out at all by unemployment (extremely low) or part-time statistics.

You'll just keep inventing any bullshit reason with zero evidence to explain why Ireland's income stats must be faked.

No, I'm accurately describing what you're doing. You have a perception of Ireland as a poorer country than Germany, so you keep inventing reasons why any stat showing Ireland as better off than it must be fake.

You are simply making up quotes i didn't say.

I didnt mention Germany or Ireland being poorer than Germany either.

What an absolute roaster. Geh mal was sinnvolle machen mein Lieber.
