Some how we need to get rid of those desparate people who are willing to work for less.
Somehow I don't think that is going to happen - ever! There are less & less jobs & more & more people wanting them, as the world population expands.

Automation started the decline in available jobs & now it is becoming regional as offshoring becomes common place, with business continually looking to cut costs.

At the moment it is a matter of choice in our part of the world. The preferred jobs are seeing more people wanting those jobs than the number of jobs available, causing a decline in T&C's. However there is a trend, even in developed countries, for reducing numbers of jobs & increasing numbers of job seekers. It may not be long before people will take any job, even if the pay is poor, just to put food on the table. And that will even affect the aviation industry, with many people trained to do little else.
