In an imbalance of supply and demand, the price changes. I see this happening more. At that rate, the company will have its pick of qualified personnel. If the project doesn't generate enough return with that kind of cost, it's the market's way of telling you to delay, downscale, or deep-six it. The dominant business culture likes trained and experienced employees but doesn't want to invest in making them.
Training requires extra expense and gives the hired help more salary impetus and career mobility.
And don't let the lure of the Soviet model undermine your commitment to markets, even when you have to open your wallet to get a high-return project going.
