artificially high wage

The wages are currently artificially low. Everyone who is sane wants them brought up to the correct level.

How did he go from 'Dirty Jobs' to this..

Dirty Jobs was actually celebrating how people were still working those jobs for crap pay and ignoring safety regulations for the benefit of companies while pretending to celebrate the workers. If you go back with the mindset of "how would a company try to make its terrible treatment of workers look good" it is a lot more apparent.

I loved dirty jobs at the time before finding out.
