    When it’s easy to fire, it’s also easy to hire. The amount of agonizing we do before extending a permanent contract in the Netherlands is somewhat higher than in the US. It’s way higher still in Germany. It would be even higher in France, if we ever did that. Employment protections do favor those who pass the hurdle to become employed; they also act as a hurdle that needs to be overcome to get to the place where they’re helpful.

        What does tech pay in your part of Europe? How does that compare to “freer” vs “less free” economies in Europe or to tech comp in the US? Being less free or more costly in employers’ ability to fire reduces the demand for labor by those employers, which suppresses wages.
