Can you give me an example of a type if labour that is in comparatively high supply and also commands a high wage?

As far as I am concerned unskilled labour always has a lower value than skilled labour due to supply and demand.

Layering on laws and regulations does not change that.

This whole discussion is about the fact that it isn't paid well but it should be paid well.

But yeah, if "as far as you're concerned", what defines value is only the price under an unconstrained suppy-demand system, then this discussion won't go anywhere.

Ok give me an example of how you would get mass unskilled labour to be paid more than scarce skilled labour?

Do you really lack any imagination at all? Come on, at least scroll around the rest of this comment tree a bit...
