Thats absolute gibberish
During the Great Depression there were few jobs and millions of men out of work
That depresses wages
During the depression, there was still work, but wages were lower and our country was on the verge of a civil war.
As can be seen, annual average wages asked fell by nearly 58 percent between 1929 and 1933. By comparison, wages paid fell by only 17.6 percent, from $27.57 in 1929 to $22.73 in 1933. Among men, wages paid fell by an even smaller percentage, from $50.45 to $44.85, a decline of only 11.1 percent. survey.

After massive protests and strikes, the National Industrial Recovery Act (1933) was enacted, to provide workers with the legal framework for collective bargaining (empowering labor unions). Also the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (also known as the Wagner Act) required businesses to bargain in good faith with any union supported by the majority of their employees. Meanwhile, the Congress of Industrial Organizations split from the AFL and became much more aggressive in organizing unskilled workers who had not been represented before by any labor unions. Strikes of various kinds became important organizing tools of the CIO, so you're the pretentious ignoramus posting revisionist gobbledygook.
In 2019, eight months before the pandemic, I relocated to NYC from Miami, because I got a job as a project coordinator at a top app development firm, paying a decent salary. More than half of my development team was from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, all with temporary, non-immigrant visas, being paid half of what an American would get paid as a junior app developer. Private companies will always do whatever they can to cut overhead (the cost of doing business) and a significant % of that expense is human labor. Your imaginary "invisible hand" of the "free market" that supposedly, mysteriously guides shareholders to pay more for skilled labor in order to acquire the best talent, is bullshit. The desire to cut costs and increase profits by whatever means available will override whatever wage increases and benefits the "invisible hand" dynamic of the market is supposedly, naturally inclined to provide. The limp "invisible hand",
doesn't do it in the REAL WORLD, only in theory. What actually happens is employers don't pay more for American talent, they pay less for Indian and Pakistani talent.
The labor market in the United States is competing for the best Indian talent, not the best American talent, get it? No, you don't get it, I know you don't. You're brainwashed by your wealthy capitalist employer-lords/gods, who have sold you a lie, that you can and will become like them. The odds of that happening are about zero. You watch too much FOX News, Hollywood, greedy televangelists, church pastors, preaching sermons about how you can become rich if you give them more money. God supposedly wants you to be a rich capitalist. You're brainwashed.
Working-class, blue-collar apologists of capitalism, defend a system that keeps them poor and disenfranchised from the political process, undermining democracy (the rule of the people).
