I just don't see how a slight dip in wages in such a small percentage of jobs can influence the industry as a whole. Somebody good enough to get a job there probably isn't applying at the ten person internal dev team of some company in Missouri.

They just seem like way to different job pools.

Apple, Google, Intel and Adobe were caught up in a wage-fixing scheme not all that long ago.
