> "The real issue, say Salzman and others, is the industry’s desire for lower-wage, more-exploitable guest workers, not a lack of available American staff. 'It seems pretty clear that the industry just wants lower-cost labor'"

That has to be BS. Industry leaders and investors want to expand the labor pool in the name of diversity, not to suppress wages. It's all about justice, not profits. Someone better flag/kill this article, I'm offended.

You must have missed the revelation back at the beginning of the year that some of the biggest players in the tech world were caught in an illegal cartel to suppress tech-worker wages. So, there's that.

You are aware that industry leaders actually WERE colluding to suppress wages, as was described in the recent class action lawsuit, right?

After doing a double-take on it, I'm sure the post is sarcasm.
