Could tariffs make hiring foreign workers less profitable thereby ensuring domestic talent gets hired at a fair wage?
Tariffs don't work for service roles.
Anything where the output of the job isn't physical, e.g. writing code, designing something, answering a phone, is super hard to track.
This is actually why the US seems to be running a trade deficit with so many countries. Companies like Google, Meta and Amazon take money from all over the world in exchange for services like advertising, and then it eventually gets spent on goods from other countries.
