Most of the 'service' industry is subsidized by cheap foreign labor. Harder for Schools and Hospitals to hire illegal/unskilled workers.

- mrguyorama 3y agoAre you kidding me? Half the faculty at any college, no matter the price, are adjuncts, who earn $2500 or so PER CLASS PER SEMESTER, while the 30 students in that class are charged $2500 EACH for that class. It's as close as you can get to free labor for knowledge work, basically the original Gig economy; Uber for teaching.
- jjaken 3y agoAlmost none of that is true
- TecoAndJix 3y agoThat adjunct pay seems low but not unheard of. Here is a thread I found on it [1]. The cost per student per class is not far off (at least at my state school). Assuming a 3-credit undergrad class at Penn State @$800 ($2400) [2].

- mrguyorama 3y agoThat's what my mom got paid for being an adjunct, 10 years in a row
