Do higher wages hurt the competiveness?

How come that Switzerland leads the Global Competitiveness Index,as a country with high wages [Switzerland with an estimated GDP per capita of $86,145, the U.S.A. with an estimated GDP per capita of $54,980, Germany with an estimated GDP per capita of $47,893 and Taiwan with an estimated GDP per capita of $22,002 ]?

 Many other countries consistently claim that they have to keep the wages low (and with that poverty high) to stay competitive!
So what's wrong with this philosophy?
