So the state says, "We need more people doing X! Pay them more to do X!"

Then those workers earn more, but then they pay more income taxes, get discouraged and cut their hours or quit.

Or the state says, "We need more X being built! Offer more money for X!"

Then those businesses find out that they need to fill out 864 forms, hire a lawyer, a tax accountant, a diversity offer, wait a few months or years for a permit, do an environmental assessment, apply for a subisidy and a government loan with another 107 forms... so they cancel the contract.
