The citizenry has to plan for a future in their home economy. That make labor intensive minimum wage jobs a bad option if you need to hold two jobs to get ahead. Migrants can tough it out for a few annual trips and return with more savings than they could generate at home.

I'm confused. Is this an attempt at justifying scamming employers for a long-term no-work payday?

Like, because the economy is so fucked it's okay to fuck over anyone who has the nerve to have a business that generates employment opportunities?

Maybe it's more accurate that labor and the value of labor are a product of culture.
