Can't get to the link here, but I think this is going to get ugly. In defense there are cases where certain skill sets are getting 50% over what the contract allows. Employers have to be paying out of pocket for this, unless they are completely abusing regulations (prob the case many times)

Some of the problem stems from: if you have a STEM degree and can get paid the same way to sit on you, why would you even need a real job. These companies start to realize they are getting zero productivity from these workers. They get laid off as companies pinch pennies to weather the economic downturn, markets get flooded with candidates, the workers that landed overpaying jobs get let go, market gets further flooded. It's going to create some interesting "non-traditional" pressure on the recession

There are plenty of labor positions open for them to switch to.
