Wages are too low across the board. Why are wages so low? Past administrations have been incentivizing businesses to move production capacity overseas. Combine this with large amounts of immigration, and our most vulnerable populations are underpaid or unemployed with no chance of moving up the economic ladder.
A technical degree is the only remaining ticket to the middle class, and we've got over 600k H1B's and their dependents displacing domestic labor that could easily be trained to do the same jobs.
So when I hear that "Essential Workers" are making less than the unemployed, I want to resolve the core issue: low wages.
