And for context, on the White side. Workers from North America, France and UK more commonly gets an education back home, which means once they arrive in Denmark or the Netherlands they will start working immediately and pay taxes. Higher education but lack of knowledge about the tax system often also leads to them paying more income tax than they need to.
This in contrast to Germany were many Germans go to Denmark to get free education, which is a net negative for Denmark. Many Germans also own summer houses allover Scandinavia, again this generally cost more than it brings in due to low utility cost and low property taxes. Don't be fooled by the numbers tho, their contribution is similar to the native population of these countries, as education is one big expense in countries were it's tax funded which is most of Europe.

And theyre still positive contributors to the economy.
