Norway has very high GDP/Cap , the fourth highest in the world. A Norwegian company could probably outsource software development to the USA as a cost saving exercise. My guess is that most Norwegian software developers (that make good money) are employed in the oil industry.

It's actually not as high when you look at it at PPP. It's actually lower than USA at PPP. But that's irrelevant to this question.
