FWIW, I read through your entire comment a few times and did not understand that it was about having a surplus of workers for entry-level or low-pay, low-skill jobs. I see that you briefly mentioned it at the beginning, but it didn't seem to be a main point of your post. Maybe I'm just an idiot and missed it entirely, and maybe the other two commenters also just missed it completely, but it really seems as though you didn't convey that point clearly. In the future, it might be worth trying to take a less hostile approach when replying to people who missed the point of what you said.

I don't think the comment is "about" having a surplus of workers, but pointing to how that argument is a distraction. Putting the cart before the horse, if you will. It simply isn't a valid justification for paying people poorly.
