The one that comes to mind is just the type of work these resources do. In the private sector, whether it's Shopify or whatever, it's more innovative technology with more innovative solutions, whereas in the public sector you're dealing with more of a mainframe system, or older back-end systems, and sometimes outdated technology as well, so the private sector can charge more, I think. They're going back to companies that are paying more because they just know that they're trying to get a specific skill set. They're always advancing technology. There are probably only 20 or 30 people, or 50 people, who can do that, versus 70 or 80 or 100 or 300 people who can do Java or dot-net or more of an established technology.
