A while ago there was an article in Germany about that ( to expensive to hire) it comes all down to cost.

Cheaper is better. That's all.

Would love to see a source.

Cheaper is not always better. Really what you're looking for is value, which is how much you pay for what you get. More value is always better.

If you have two people that both know nothing, scoop up the one for less pay. But if someone knows something, they might be worth the extra money because they can provide more value.

Otherwise why would anyone ever get a raise?
