In recent years, Sofia is booming with large multinational companies, exploiting the relatively cheap labour there. There is a disproportionate amount of young people attracted to these jobs, because they are still paid a lot better than anything else.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to belittle the country's achievements. It's just that labels like "next silicon valley" should not be judged by "growth" alone. And same thing for wealth and living standards: Growth is essential to get to the top, but it's not equivalent to being on the top.
