> Those people probably make less money because they don't job hop as much, but they are valued a lot more by their bosses and peers

If they were truly valued more by their bosses, they would be paid more.

This is ridiculous, but not unsurprising coming from a recruiter

That depends. Not every industry or company has the margins of tech or a truck of VC money.

I don't know if it does depend. If you have low margins, but do a ton of volume in any industry, you should be able to generate more money by retaining good shipping ppl. That has a ceiling where competition won't pay more, or the business can't realistically afford you for some reason, but at that point you should probably move to where you can generate more with the same time, supposing that other factors aren't more important than the gain in $
