This is a very important point, let me expand a bit. If your business/product requires a supply of sub-market waged talent, then you have not found true product-market fit or your product just does not provide sufficient value to sustain a real business (real meaning one that can operate on market wages.)

Why do you say sub-market? When Disney or any other huge corporation outsources their IT dept to India / China, that's the MARKET. Good Luck putting an import tax on virtual goods / services.

It is market wage in India/China. If they can export jobs to India/China and make things work, good for them, that is a good business.

If the company is complaining of a shortage of US workers however, they are paying sub-market US wages. There is no such thing as a shortage in economics.
