Out of curiousity, why do you think the salaries have been so low in Germany? For certain sectors I can imagine outsourcing has occurred to lower wage jurisdictions in Central/Eastern Europe, so maybe that has put some downward pressure on salary growth - but what about localised professions, like blue collar jobs etc? Or is it just generally white collar wages that are not that high?

The question is rather why software salaries are so high in USA. That is the real anomaly.

Because US tech companies are the most successful in the world and there is an immense demand for workers located in US-friendly time zones. It's simple market economics. I wouldn't be surprised if there is more demand for highly skilled tech workers in California alone than any other country in the world.
