Wouldn't the underpaid foreigners then go into business for themselves in time?
Starting new businesses isn't as easy in other countries. The ease of doing it here is why we are so powerfully economically.
In most countries, you have to pay people off, or you have to already be a "have". "Have nots" are booted out pretty quick.
There are exceptions, and its getting better, but...
Besides that the culture and mentality doesn't support it. It isn't usual to start new businesses. Again, it is changing, but....
There is more of a passive attitude.
