Now do the tech industry (high paying American jobs)
- crossbody 10mo agoWhy is tech high paying exactly? Maybe low supply of qualified labor? Maybe that can be solved with qualified immigration? We can call such a program H1B, for example, and it would benefit the American economy overall at the cost of slightly reducing compensation fir the already extremely highly paying tech jobs.
- armas 10mo ago@crossbody that makes too much sense though
- baiwl 10mo agoImmigration is about short-changing the natives to make the billionaires wealthier, yes, we know. People are also now learning this fact, which is why you’re getting unpalatable politicians elected.
- ben_w 10mo ago"I'm being short-changed!" claims rich minority whose high pay even fresh out of university leads to SF rents being unafordable by key workers. Irony is, that doesn't prevent such sentiments as yours leading to people like Trump. I had a chance to live in the USA years back, I'm glad I didn't bother to take it.

- lovich 10mo agoAre convenience stores getting h1bs for their shelf stockers? How the hell is the baseline population an appropriate metric for evaluating a niche role?
