I think California did become the 6th largest economy in the world by just getting workers for less.

Silicon Valley wages are the highest in the country for comparable work, so, no.

Just because they have some of the highest wages doesn't mean they don't have some of the lowest too and it doesn't mean that they aren't hiring foreign workers so they can pay them 150k instead of 300k.

And even being paid 150k isn't exactly a low quality of life. After tax, and rent at $4000 a month, your leftover wage from 150k is higher than my gross salary.
