They can have anyone from the EU and getting a visa is not hard (with sponsorship)


Switzerland has 8 million people that can work without nasty visas and their related problems. California has 321 million.


Read that again: "They can have anyone from the EU" (with no need for visas)

That's 510 Million people - take 65Mi out when the UK leaves but that's still a bigger number (Google gives a total European population if you google that, but that's a wrong number)


Swiss voters are trying to tear that up: http://www.expatica.com/ch/visas-and-permits/Guide-for-EU-EF...

Also WTF is a "residence permit". It sounds like a visa to me, and has similar requirements.


The typical procedure for getting a permit to Switzerland is to first move there and when you live there you go get it automatically at your nearest office, you will never get rejected as long as you have a job.
