Well to counter that, when comparing similar employees within my international company between the US and the EU, the US employees are about 1.5 times more expensive (this is the money that an FTE will cost a project). Not sure why that is, perhaps it is really an inequality issue and maybe the cleaners are cheaper in the same company in the US than in the EU? I don't know those details.
