It's not a labor shortage – it's a wage and workers rights shortage

Yes, of course there is underreporting; nothing in my comment says otherwise.

I'm not following your point. Since some people cheat on their taxes, they shouldn't be paid wages instead, because then they wouldn't be able to underreport as easily?

My point was that the under-reporting is in much larger amounts than your claim that "You can get away with not reporting it if it's a few extra bucks from a jar on a counter."

How did you get this from what I said? I said nothing to that effect. Not even close. My point was very simple.
