I think employers are bracing for another employee sided market and trying to juice their hand as long as they have it. My belief is a lot of F500 companies are running on skeleton crew H1B which might be a crumbly foundation. They will neg-neg-neg until the clock runs out.

They will just expand immigration visa programs (something Musk, who is in favor of such programs, says he will go to “war” over) or outsource.

I don’t see any evidence for an employee favored job market. This is not 2020/21 anymore. The large corporations are firmly in power in tech.

What would happen if we uncapped the TFW/immigration/offshoring programs but essentially made it cost enough that you could give the displaced a locality adjusted floor wage?
