its funny while you're talking ignorance and refericing only the S from STEM, and likely looking at niche localized data.

if you work in STEM in most places in the country you can make a comfortable living, and STEM graduates outpace most other graduates. Why? because most pieces of the "graduate" pie have worse outcomes and there's so much fluff like humanities majors.

sure being a doctor or lawyer has better income, but if you're an engineer who isn't making 100k or close you're fucking up. same for accountants, or people in science.

idk what your post is even about, unless you're referencing pay in silicon valley lagging behind cost of living in silicon valley for run of the mill coders.

STEM pay in Canada lags US by a wide margin. Something between 30-50% less. There's a number of reasons but some of the bigger ones are a small pool of potential employers (Canada jobs market is no where near as expansive as the US), huge numbers of educated immigrants flocking to Canada.

Almost 47% of Toronto's population is foreign born. Ethnic Indians are 11% of the city. Many of those don't come here to pick strawberries or work in construction, they came for the tech, finance, engineering, medicine and other high paying jobs. So the natural consequence of that is wages at those historically lucrative white collar professions stagnate, because the supply of qualified labor exceeds the labor demand, so the new price equilibrium doesn't rise as fast as it would in places like the US. Thank your boy Trudeau.

How about making work cool again.
People now-a-days don't feel invested in their communities.

This opens the door for major corporations to take hold.
Walmart is a good example, it closes all the mom & pop shops.

You use to be able to go to the store and know people who worked there.
Now people are moved all over the country/world and you don't know anyone.

This is also why young people don't feel connected to their work.
Instead of them saying 'I worked with local business in my community to help my community',
They say 'I had a job that I hated and only did it for money'.

With this kind of attitude, it's no wonder under-paid labor is being imported.

It also requires Americans to change. Americans go to these huge retail stores and load up on crap because it's all cheap and they love to consoom. They could go to the mom and pop stores but those usually have more expensive stuff, but likely of better quality.

You're delusional, blaming the victim. "you're fucking up" *or* we've been f*cked over and abandoned for cheap foreign subservient labour. We're awake to this. You're denying the lived experienced & what is, frankly, obvious.

"its true because i say its true".

i literally said its worse in canada, i literally said its bad in some places in the USA. but i pointed out STEM majors have good outcomes in many places in the USA but have lower supply than what is demanded.

you responded with zero facts and played the victim on behalf of other people who aren't victims because you are a victim yourself in canada. you have battered wife syndrome.
