Quote:Any one where the market determines that that value of the labor provided is less than the rate for a living wage. That's the whole answer; you are worth what you are worth, nothing more.

I guess I value people more than others do.... If left to their devices the "free market" would drive down wages into oblivion. That is why protections are in place. We've been through this. Even though wages go down due to free market economics the demand for jobs is still up. People have to take jobs regardless of whether the wages are low or not. 

 

The problem is profits go up and wages do not. COL goes up and wages do not. This reduces the percentage of jobs able to provide living wages while the numbers in the workforce to not go down. This has been a problem for decades.
