I mentioned Paris & Munich because I employ people there - the UK is *way* cheaper. Employers social costs are pretty well 50% on top of gross salary in France, and Germany isn't far behind.In the past it was more expensive to employ people in France or Germany than in the UK but not these days. Lots of employment tax increases have been passed on to employers rather than employees.
