So are you saying they should be paying more for more work but they are not?

If the volume of work goes up, its cost goes down. Supply and demand.

What?! Good to know. When contractor comes to do the kitchen, I will make them do the garden as well and will reduce the money I’d pay them, because supply and demand!

I would add that companies are incentivised to chase profits, and paying employees more is not aligned with that, sadly.
