This always comes down to the fact that labor is competitive. Why pay someone $200k/yeae when someone will do the job for $80k/year? Competition drives the prices of labor down. Maybe there needs to be better regulation for labor competition like corporations enjoy.
Ceo pay is advertised and used against each other to get top dollar. Lowers like us have out pay hidden so companies can low ball without us knowing. That’s what needs to change. It should be law to be advertised pay rate so the lowballers get exposed and no one applies, forcing pay to go up.

My current job, I asked what the pay was, they said 'you tell us what it should pay".

Turns out I make 40% less than all my co workers because I didn’t know what the range was commonly for this role. Theor game let me lowball myself. It’s completely BS.
