Like some sort of minimum amount they have to offer in terms of wages?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Lol. I'm all for raising the minimum wage to something livable. But also at the same time, there's got to be some kind of mechanism that forces these companies to pay people properly. Either that or make unions mandatory.

The minimum wage really only applies to the lowest-requirement, manual-labor jobs. Ideally, the baseline he's suggesting would adjust for certain expertise fields, perhaps just around the subject of when they can request immigration visas or outsourcing assistance.

So for instance you need a software engineer, you shouldn't be able to offer a 70k salary, get no one (because software engineers value their time), and then claim there are no software engineers - you would have to be offering 110k+ before any assistance.
