Not because of regulation.. but because of supply and demand working within the market.

Incidentally, we would pay some jobs a lot less, except that there's this minimum wage thing. That's not supply and demand, and it's not free market. Instead, it's a legislated cost of labor - that you deny. And it's just the tip of the iceberg. What we have here is far, far from a free market.

I know you would pay some jobs a lot less, those you aren't offshoring. Those you are trying to use illegals to fill because you don't want to pay a market rate where someone can live off their earnings. That's what got government involved in the first place - for right or wrong. Ethical shortcomings of business are usually the cause of government intervention.
