"Jobs Americans don't want to do (at the price point the business is offering)"
So its hard to get an IT professional to work at job at $15/hr in the US. Easier in Southeast Asia. Consequently, we outsource a ton of IT work overseas.
Similarly, construction work is dangerous and exhausting. Hard to find young people to do the work at a $25/hr price point, until you start importing a bunch of very desperate 20-something migrant laborers.
