Clearly not enough are leaving because otherwise the pay will naturally rise.

It’s almost like that’s how the market is supposed to work! The price moves around until demand and supply match.

Right. Everybody is charging for scarcity.

Some people charge for the use of the labor they do with their own two hands.

Other people are simply charging for the scarcity of land which they didn't create or make valuable, but were granted the exclusive right to use by the government.
