Erm, this is my point, no?
This large a differential between Canada and the US has persisted for decades.
Why?
You would think that the US would have drained Canada of the personnel sufficiently to cause salaries to match by this point.
- randomdata 3y ago> Why? Why not? "Highly skilled" people are highly sought after because, by and large, they are the people most likely to create new capital. Success in creating new capital begets a desire to create even newer capital and so long as the people continue to be successful in capital creation efforts, there is really no end. Not a whole lot different as to why Silicon Valley hasn't stabilized with Detroit. Of course, Detroit is also interesting here because it provides a cautionary tale as to what happens when capital creation seizes up. That is what Canada is desperately trying to avoid by trying to bring in the "highest skilled" people from other countries.
