I disagree with your premise that this is "wrong" problem. Government should not be involved in dictating what kind of jobs should be there, but it absolutely should get involved in making sure that with jobs that are available, workers are treated fairly.

Why?

Couple reasons: a) Taxpayers end up on a hook for difference between livable wage and what corporations pay b) Corporations act in a monopolistic manner and actively engage in practices of suppressing wages (price fixing) c) Government elected by people for people, multinational corporate interests are distant second.
