Maybe it does maybe it doesn't. In the short term, there is no doubt that lower income lesser skilled workers pay a disproportionately high price for an increasing supply of labor.

Yeah, as soon as I hit send I thought about "for all" and it's obviously not true. Those whose wages would remain higher through protectionism will be hurt a bit in the short term.
But when it comes to skilled workers, job protectionism is absolutely ridiculous and even for unskilled workers, the free flow of labor eventually creates more jobs and industries and/or spurs workers to develop skills.
