You need to wait 6-12 months for the potential employees to be desperate enough to debase themselves for less money. That's what we learned in 2008's crash.

The housing prices and the rents are extremely high right now. Everyone who bought in the last 3 years, doesn't have much room to work for a lower wages.

In addition to that health care will become more expensive, the student loans will resume, etc, etc.

I think you underestimate how wide the poverty gap is. There are still millions of people living comfortably.
