Not even skilled jobs. Cause thats just an excuse to fire domestic skilled labor for indentured servants. It incentivizes disinvestment in the national economy
Im envisioning a person who is globally recoginzed in whatever field they are a member of. Legit foreign leaders like a warner von braun or Einstein or Okazaki Reiji. People which cannot be made domestically because each person takes decades of years and unique life experiences to build.
Id prefer if it was literally limited to those research gigs requiring PHDs and only those kinds of jobs. Aside from that, You can totally train a native to do a job requiring a bachelors or masters in anything. Simply going to school in your own country shouldnt entitle you to compete with a local who is also capable of going to school. And this isnt just tech. But also includes nurses which have to to deal with this regarding Philippines diluting wages. Employers are running away from paying a fair wage and decent benefits to first world workers. The "skilled worker" thing is a smoke screen.
In the American context, i realized how nonsensical it was when Biden passed the chips act which required American workers to build, design, and engineer complex semiconductors in order to get govt contracts. All of a sudden companies like Nvidia and Qualcom which used to hide behind the shortage of "skilled workers" excuse were motivated to hire and train domestic tech people in nevada and arizona. All of a sudden they could magically make investments in training programs at local universities and trade schools because they HAD TO. Wages magically rose higher because they HAD TO due to a govt mandate.
