This is not relevant to the UK. Faculty do not get paid anywhere near this. They do not get paid lawyer or doctor money either, for the UK. Economics faculty who move from the UK to the US will come close to doubling their salary, as a lower bound.

To be fair to the UK/EU you’d need to compare total compensation and factor in the social net in Europe.

Even once you factor all of the that in, you receive far less money.
