Those sectors (except construction) are also very well defended by interest groups against foreign workers in the usa.

It’s okay to hire an Indian fresh off the boat (with a visa) to code at Facebook (probably after an older or more expensive domestic worker is unhired) without a license but it is unthinkable that say public school teachers face the same competition.

The real answer to inflation is to start constructing homes from iPads and flatscreen televisions.
