Yes and economist's also think the risk to the workers physical health and safety is part of the pay that gets factored in and the government should mind it's own beeswax too. That's generally part of economists reflex to look the other way when the free market creates a race to the bottom. Just pretend that workers have a choice between working at a coal mine that exposes them coal dust for higher pay or one that doesn't. Same as pharmacists have to choice between working for companies that put them at risk for burnout, PTSD and panic attacks for more money and ones that don't.
