Last time that happened we ended up with the great recession, and another one will be coming in the next few years, so I doubt wages are going to be growing much if at all.
Will they do as they’re told or just go elsewhere or automate? This isn’t 1950. We used to have a near monopoly on the kind of infrastructure required for business, that is no longer the case.
I dont disagree that our educational system is failing to prepare our kids too be qualified for high paying jobs. One of the things that should be taught in high school is a cost/ benefit analysis for higher education. Some high paying jobs don’t require college. Some degrees aren’t sought by businesses and therefore don’t land high paying jobs.
What? No, the last time it happened was in the nineties. And full employment had nothing to do with our last recession.
You guys keep talking about fast food jobs.
The jobs that are and will keep disappearing are jobs that involve things like running manual machine tools and driving a forklift, things that some people think are “good” jobs or at least steady blue collar work.
Any business that works off gross receipts that are set by the state or federal government have to absorb it. Contingency lawyers are one example. But i get your Point. Most will pass it on to the consumer.
Or coal mining our truck driving. Should those jobs stay or is it right they go away?
The answer during the industrial revolution wasn’t to fight to keep agrarian jobs, it was for workers to adapt to the change.
They have to go away, or other countries will eat our lunch. If we stick our heads and the sand and go luddite to save obsolete jobs, the countries that don’t will become the new economic superpowers.
Pay isn’t going up for most people.
Now, if you’re an athlete or media personality or CEO you’re gonna get massively richer.
Tell that to President Trump.
He’s taking the “fight to save agrarian jobs” approach.
How do you keep them from going away if they’re automated out of existence?
Well yes. That’s exactly why us evil libs keep trying to tell you that government not the corps have to invest in training and retraining the work force or else
Easier said than done. Especially when the brunt of service industry jobs operate on a shoestring as it is. Wages alone are also misleading when you factor in things like profit sharing and overtime as well as shift differential. How many service industry jobs also do profit sharing? Not many that I’ve heard of.
Tell that to President Trump.
He’s taking the “fight to save agrarian jobs” approach.
His goal was to get elected, not tell people what they didn’t want to hear.
The government? I’d rather have the companies themselves drive the education that’s needed. At my workplace, people who are placed by “the government” don’t last long. It’s even worse than dealing with an HR department that doesn’t exist on the site.
Nice…but now he’s President and pursuing and enacting policies that are harmful to the goal of creating an adapted workforce.
Well yes. That’s exactly why us evil libs keep trying to tell you that government not the corps have to invest in training and retraining the work force or else
If someone wants to get an education or training its already available. The feds can’t make people get trained or educated.
It’s kind of weird how Trump is fighting all the problems from the 80’s.
Nice…but now he’s President and pursuing and enacting policies that are harmful to the goal of creating an adapted workforce.
His goal is to get re-elected. Welcome to politics.
