I will say this, Switzerland has some of the tightest immigration and citizenship rules in the world. They definitely don't welcome the unwashed and financially desperate Turks, Slavs, Middle Easterners and North Africans like their European neighbors do.
The people of Switzerland are pure blooded Swiss, and some wealthy oligarchs who have bought their way in. And they are very protective of Swiss norms and culture.
I'm sure there is some neo-liberal fiscal engineering at play here but I also think part of this is to help insure the trains continue to run on time down to the second, there continues to not be a single scrap of paper on the streets and the waiters, shop keepers and blue collar support workers remain blond haired and blue eyed.
The Swiss have seen the massive demographic and cultural shifts that have happened in Frankfurt, Paris, London, Stockholm, Vienna, Rome, etc. and they want no part of it. Guaranteeing a living wage (Geneva has one of the highest COL in the world) is one way to accomplish this.

Germany makes fun of them because they are said to have relations with family members. Hence they frick their sister, so they are kinda the Alabama of Europe.
