Or maybe they would already be employed at a better place paying more and using their labor with greater leverage. I believe that workers and non-CS engineers are horribly underpaid around the world. They are underpaid in the US's Aerospace, they are underpaid in Russia's military industrial complex and they are also underpaid in China which actually supplies the stuff that everybody uses. Don't doubt they are also underpaid in Japan and Korea.

>Or maybe they would already be employed at a better place paying more and using their labor with greater leverage. I mean this in all seriousness. What in the past 50 years of deindustrialization makes you think that that as even a possibility? Sure, it’s the Econ 101 textbook answer. “Creative destruction” and all that jazz. But in reality, how has that actually played out?
