IMO, the only reason above-market pay doesn't raise retention as much as people want is that it's possible to have above-market pay and a job people enjoy doing. And on the other hand, you can offer enough above-market and people will do any job, as evidenced by the other thread I saw yesterday where people were making crazy salaries to implement unethical, deceptive practices against their users.
