It exists among the skilled trades within the construction industry, where the value of one's labor is tied to a very tangible and measurable output. High producers are able to command a higher wage because they earn the bosses more money (or they'll take their skillset elsewhere).

I've got a friend who expatriated to the Netherlands to escape the fascist spiral we're all feeling in the United States. It was not an easy task to manage with a wife and kid, as you can imagine.

I guess this goes to show there's little hope in trying to run from what's clearly coming.
