Correction: Sorry, Sarah Nir is the journalist, not Allen. The one ad is now being used to confirm: "Asian-language newspapers are rife with classified ads listing manicurist jobs paying so little the daily wage can at first glance appear to be a typo." The existence of one ad shows that Bernstein wasn't thorough in his search. But the image does not show that papers are rife with such ads. Either way, though, Nir is writing about vulnerable undocumented immigrants, and Bernstein's describing how the industry works for people who play by the rules and only hire licensed workers. Since they're talking about different parts of the industry, everything both side argues could be true. I'm reading the twitter exchange, it sounds like they're just shouting past each other.
