How well does that argument hold up tho'? I mean, there is always _someone_ who does it cheaper. Always. In fact I know of a web developer, who actually does quite decent work and is available for as little as $5 per hour. Does that mean everyone in that skill level should get paid so little?
- charlesdm 9y agoCheaper yes, but perhaps not better. I'd be happy to demand a few million a year for high quality development work from an employer, but the laws of supply and demand do apply.
- bko 9y agoHow would you allocate work? Suppose you are paying a “fair” wage above the market wage, so you have 5 equally qualified candidates apply. They are not allowed to compete on price since you already decided to pay what you consider a fair wage. How do you decide who gets the work?
- nofilter 9y agoI would hire whoever produces the best quality of work for that amount of money, but if they all produce the exact same quality of work, I would hire the one who takes the least amount of money.
- dclowd9901 9y agoThe reason anyone can make this kind of wage work is through consumer credit. Eliminate consumer credit, and wages will go up/prices will go down, I would bet my life on it.
