Wages for which role?

UK – Newly Qualified Paramedics (Band 5): £28,407 – £34,581. USA - $38,000 to $48,000: £28,323 – £35,777

Sure, there's a bunch of different tax treatments and work-benefits between the countries, but I don't think it's the cost-of-labour that is making the USA more expensive.
