Businesses don&#x27;t have infinite resources to hire workers, and most workers old enough to truly be experts are not going to relocate easily. 1x, 2x, even 3x market wages won&#x27;t be enough to move someone that&#x27;s already earning a comfortable wage, likes their job, and has roots (a home, a spouse that likes <i>their</i> job, children in school, family nearby) in their current community. No single digit multiple of market wages would get me to move to Silicon Valley, let alone the middle of West Virginia.
