" just a shortage at the price the employer is willing to pay." - preach it.
In a fair market, price goes up to increase the supply.
For example lawyers. I'm paying $600 /hr. Plenty of them around, no shortage.

Actually, I suspect I know the answer in many cases, but I'm curious what other people think.
I would certainly pay an amazing engineer $600/hr if I could call on them at any time and get billed at increments of 6 minutes, but that would be an insane way to build software (I know lawyers who think its an insane way to do law, but it is the system).
Maybe not trial lawyers or other positions where you need a warm body in the courtroom, but entry level lawyers are feeling the outsourcing squeeze as well.
