you're always at fear of being fired, etc. etc.
You do if you have the skills
@Deleted User That's not true at all
Unemployment is at 4,5%, job creation is hitting new highs, wage growth is boosting
Who would fire a good employee?
You're always in risk of losing them to another company if anything
unemployment % does not count people who have dropped out of the workforce
It does
no it does not
There is payroll employment change in either way, so your argument is null
that's literally how unemployment % is calculated and has always been
that also does not include underemployment, wage growth not actually growing (it hasn't for the last, what? 40-50 years?)
@Deleted User There is the U-6 which counts anyone who is unemployed, those seeking and not seeking job.
It is at 8%, which is fairly low for the broad scope of the measure
wages have not grown with either inflation or with productivity
because the ability to negotiate wages lies solely in the hands of the employer
as an individual worker, you have no actual power
Wage Growth in the United States averaged 6.26 percent from 1960 until 2017
You can literally get more power by becoming a better worker
Some people won't do well, that's a given
yeah, you want to know something?
But in trying to make their work guaranteed you lower productivity, increase cost
there was more social mobility in the fucking medieval ages than today
want to get more power as a worker?
you don't
want to get richer? you won't
How was the mobility in the socialist countries?
as a whole, it's impossible
there wasn't mobility because that wasn't the god damn fucking point
What system do you propose that is better than capitalism in terms of mobility
it was to get rid of classes, you incipient moron
So no one moves up?\
every other system, basically
Do you understand humans at all?
capitalism has very little mobility
what the fuck is up?
more so than in any alternative
People want to compete and want the prospect of being able to have it better
The inflation average of US has been 3.81% since 1960, while wage growth remained at 6.26%. Therefore, real wages increased by roughly 2.50% yearly. Calling it as stagnant, as well as the increasing payroll jobs (no negative balance since 2009 crisis) as bad is just straight ignorance. @Deleted User
