A friend of mine is a phd post-doc in the EU doing some fancy research I don't comprehend with lasers that has applications in the semi industry. He's paid about 40k Euros. His peers form the US he meets at conferences working in the same field make upwards of six figures, over 3 times as much, for the same work. So yes, I'd say my math was about right on the money.
If you wanna hire skilled workers in the US it'll cost you 2-3x more than in EU, taxes and all included.
