Out of curiousity, why do you think the salaries have been so low in Germany? For certain sectors I can imagine outsourcing has occurred to lower wage jurisdictions in Central/Eastern Europe, so maybe that has put some downward pressure on salary growth - but what about localised professions, like blue collar jobs etc? Or is it just generally white collar wages that are not that high?
- chefkoch 5y agoEquality is much higher in europe then the US. It's the same for lawyers, doctors etc.
- yobbo 5y agoThe question is rather why software salaries are so high in USA. That is the real anomaly.
- danielrpa 5y agoBecause US tech companies are the most successful in the world and there is an immense demand for workers located in US-friendly time zones. It's simple market economics. I wouldn't be surprised if there is more demand for highly skilled tech workers in California alone than any other country in the world.
