Why rich smart attractive males avoid marriage? Why religions teach you to get married? Why feminazis prevent consenting females from accepting high paying jobs and escaping patriarchal oppression? Why force and deceit are often more politically correct than consent in getting a mate? What should you do to help your self?
Imagine if it’s not a job. Imagine if it’s a welfare. So government says, anyone that stand idly in Madison square will be paid $5 per hour. There is no productivity. Government is just insane giving money away. Will immigrants coming reduce that welfare pie? Yes.
Many jobs are essentially welfare. The salary does not justify the productivity.
I think immigration will reduce job but mainly only if the job itself is essentially implicit welfare.
Many jobs are not real job with normal salary. Minimum wage, for example, inflate salary for some job. Some jobs are created by stimulus. So those jobs are limited. More people taking that job means there goes the job.
Minimum wage is interesting. If the normal salary is 1/hour. Due to minimum wage, the salary becomes 5 per hour. Government is effectively saying anyone that work that job got a subsidy of 4/hour and anyone hiring such workers are fined 4 per hour.
Some jobs have their salary artificially inflated through anti immigration laws. Such jobs will too get erased when immigrations come.
Jobs that are underpaid like, CEOs, entrepreneurs, doctors, and lawyers, will not be reduced by immigrations. Productivity for such jobs exceed the salary.
Obviously supply curves don’t meet demand at that price. There will be surplus workers and more immigrants coming in. Those immigrants are being attracted not by genuine productive opportunity, but by that implicit welfare.
On the other hand entrepreneurs, the job creators, won’t come to US to start a business that tend to hire tons of minimum wage workers. Why come to a country that fine you for your job?
Many jobs are real. We can think of entrepreneurs as a job too. I work managing my employees, making program, making contact. Immigrants are more likely to be entrepreneurs. Those jobs won’t go away no matter how many immigrants coming in. However, typical immigrants that come for productive job will be few. Productive jobs are also appreciated and paid well in other places too.
Jobs with real productivity, like CEOs, programmers, etc. won’t get hurt by immigrants. Jobs with low or no real productivity, like washing dishes, will get hurt a lot by immigrants.
Dubai accepts plenty of immigrants without problem. They don’t have minimum wage job and kicks out any unproductive workers that can’t get a job.
