Playing fair in the international sand box?
Current Topic (The international prevailing wage)

A Simple Idea.

Basic problem

Jobs are going overseas

Workers overseas are not being paid at the same level as Americans.

Why not implement an international prevailing wage for all companies that choose to send work overseas. The overseas worker would be paid at the same level as an American. If companies are required to pay overseas works at a rate comparible to current American wages it would level the playing field.

Examples of local implentations of a prevailing wage.
