Polish term or phrase: psuć rynek
Prosiłbym o sugestie-nie do końca wydaje mi się, że można użyć słowa 'to destroy' lub
'to spoil'

"Młodzi psują rynek pracy. "Zgadzam się na małe stawki, bo dumą się nie najem"
Psujesz rynek" – słyszą często młodzi ludzie, którzy godzą się pracować za mniejsze pieniądze. Bezpłatne staże i wykonywanie zleceń za pół darmo to sól w oku profesjonalistów, którzy mają określone, często wysokie stawki. Czy osoba godząca się na małe pieniądze lub pracę za darmo, psuje rynek, czy walczy o swoje miejsce na nim?"

'Czy darmowi fotografowie naprawdę psują rynek?
W ostatnim czasie napotykam posty piętnujące oferty fotografów pracujących w śmiesznie niskiej cenie. Ciężko się z nimi nie zgodzić, ale czy tak ostra retoryka na pewno jest na miejscu?

Jakiś czas temu napisałem artykuł o tym, dlaczego nie należy pracować za darmo. Różnych firm, czy prywatnych osób, które nie chcą płacić za zdjęcia, jest całe mnóstwo. Na to nie ma siły i żeby wyplewić to zjawisko, trzeba uświadamiać fotografów, że takich zleceń po prostu się nie bierze. Nie mam nic przeciwko barterowi, o ile jest uczciwy, a my w zamian za zdjęcia otrzymamy konkretne usługi, a nie szeroko rozumianą promocję. Oczywiście ona również może być przedmiotem takiej umowy, ale musi być bardzo konkretna i przede wszystkim być warta co najmniej tyle, na ile wycenilibyśmy zdjęcia.

Do immigrants harm the labor market opportunities of less skilled natives?
http://davidcard.berkeley.edu/papers/new-immig.pdf
The substitutability between new immigrants, pre-existing immigrants and UK-born workers in the host labour market can shed light on why new immigration could harm the labour market prospects of existing immigrants but not much those of the UK-born.
https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/brexit/2016/10/19/do-immigrants-harm...

Often this appears to be related to the commonly expressed concern that immigrants harm the labor market prospects of natives.
https://wol.iza.org/uploads/articles/469/pdfs/crime-and-immi...

The OECD’s employment, labour and social affairs director, Stefano Scarpetta, said… “high inflows of migrants into low-skilled jobs might damage the labour market prospects of young unskilled workers”.
https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2019/09/temporary-visa-delu...

...are likely to do far more damage to the labour market than any kind of labour market regulation within reason.

spoil the field / job market


Explanation:
It is not right for a few bad apples to spoil the field for others who play by the rules

----

Too many plumbers spoil the job market - https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/468053.too-many-plumbers-...

------

Pensioners spoil the job market because they start hunting for jobs at low salaries. - https://www.dawn.com/news/1065978

---

Please describe your general attitude towards immigrants of various origins:

are not welcome because they take Irish jobs and spoil the job market
are not welcome because they are foreigner
are welcome because they help Irish economy
are welcome because they take low-paid jobs no one wants to take
are welcome as long as they accept our culture
