My point was that European workers are paid in proportion to how they are valued by their employer. If they wrote transformational software their employer wouldn't understand its value and it would either just be shipped without a lot of thought, or ignored. Come to think of it this may be why so much great open source software comes out of Europe.
If European companies threatened by the digital transition realized their looming doom and actually decided to do something about it, the salaries would rise as a consequence.
