Given that native English speakers have a leg up in HR processes over here, I agree that everything that makes Europe a better living space is a nice thing for Americans who want out and largely can get out.
I work for a European tech company, and we have a noticeable uptick of American applicants over the years. Common (as in: almost every time) interview questions I answer are "Is it safe there? I work in [say, Portland] and we had just had gunshots again across the street" and "Can my kids ride the subway alone?". Colleagues who made the leap tend to tell me they are "glad they got out".
