Dude, a low-skilled worker in Arkansas displaced from her gig could move to Palo Alto to be a low-skilled worker there for higher wages, if only she could afford to find a place to live here. Stanford Hospital hires lots of traveling nurses (not a low-skilled job) from poorer parts of the country. They talk about moving here, until they figure out that they'd have to live in Stockton or Gilroy to dream of owning a home. The lack of housing is a tax on everyone, one that pays off for people who currently own real estate.

The problem we have is a glut of bodies and increasingly less for them to do.
There is no solution to this except for more open borders. Americans need to start moving abroad, the way Europeans moved here in the early 20th century.

That helps why?

And we need to let immigrants move here more easily.

The problem with that is nobody wants to let outsiders in, including us.

You just said that the problem is a glut of bodies, but you want more? Attention span much?
