That's the dirty secret of "the employment shortage".

Under pay, no one takes the job, so justify off-shoring.

The truth, having talked to employees at big firms, is that in the past, entire factories were off shored to save 10 cents from one single part in a product.

Today, most jobs are not just under-paid, they are undignified. Because any job can be gratifying in the right circumstances, even a job on a factory line, it just has to:

1. Pay a fair wage 2. Be designed to be gratifying

Companies dont even care about their customers anymore, we all know it's been more than 15 years since they've cared about their employees. That's how entshittification goes.
