It's still not clear to me whether union protection is going to be worth the decrease in job creation. There's a reason Europe has way less IT positions with worse salaries.

I think you’ll find that at the very least unions preserve jobs in contracting industries, which software is clearly in the process of.

Salary isn't even be all end all. In fact, higher salary might be worse, because in total you have to pay out of pocket for things your europeans counterparts. Therefore they should have more discretionary income compared to a US worker (I don't think I have to source this).

What Job creation? The last 3 years have only shedded IT roles (what the tech industry falls under) in the jobs report.
