A comment on 10% of Cubans have left Cuba in the last year. Parent comment
If supply for labor goes a bit down, wages will increase a bit, and then companies will be incentivized to replace these bad jobs with automation.

As few people should be doing those bad jobs as possible, and for the ones that do them, they should be paid more.
