But theres american companies here and as I wrote pay 30-80% more. They need to follow the law like everyone else yet still find possible to pay so much more without issue.
In the US the gap is even higher but we can focus on Europe then. American companies in Europe pay a lot more. Why can they afford it and why european counterparts consistently pay around their average? American companies like to come to Europe because they can get away paying less they pay in USA.
