It's disappointing any solution to this issue will easily be 5-10 years away, leaving the rest of us plebeians to grapple with the consequences in the meantime. Plus any solution that increases pay for entry-level workers necessarily costs employers more than the peanuts they currently pay workers overseas, so they'll bitch and moan as hard as they can to turn public interest against any politician that tries. Really feels like we're just sitting ducks while other countries get their act together acting as hubs of innovation that already had far more varied industries across the board to begin with.
