content: Completely false. Multiple studies repeated multiple times over the decades indicate the only reason there is a shortage is because companies have refused to pay fair market wages. They then lie about applicants, then choosing to bring in illegal H1Bs. Many companies, including IBM, Oracle, Google, and Microsoft have all been caught in illegal collusion to suppress worker wages. The simple fact is, every single indicator is that worker wages have been illegally suppressed. So yes, expect wages to rise. Any other market reaction will be very unnatural and anti-capitalistic.
